IMMEDIATE OUTCOME 8 Implementation of Conventions is fostered through the provision of expertise and logistical support
The Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC), the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), and the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) provide for a robust legal and normative framework within which a large share of mine action interventions is planned, implemented and funded.

ACHIEVEMENTS Over the past two years, the Centre has worked closely with the Presidencies of both the APMBC and CCM, including during the quinquennial review conferences of these Conventions. States Parties to the APMBC, the CCM and the CCW continued to make progress and adopt decisions that guide their work. The GICHD’s technical advice contributed to the development of strategic documents, such as the Oslo Action Plan (APMBC 4th Review Conference) and the draft Lausanne Action Plan (CCM 2nd Review Conference). These plans, which are expected to be adopted by all States Parties, provide direction, and help ensure progress can be measured, a remarkable new development that the GICHD supported thanks to its expertise. Upon request, the GICHD reviewed extension requests related to Article 5 of the APMBC and Article 4 of the CCM, in an effort to ensure that the work of the State-led committees was based on evidence. In 2020, due to the pandemic, key events were migrated to online formats, and logistical support to that effect
was provided to the convention machinery that oversees the APMBC, CCM and CCW (Presidencies, Committees, Implementation Support Units). LESSONS LEARNT T The GICHD’s work around the globe with a variety of mine action programmes in different contexts places it in a unique position to share experiences and good practice from the field with the delegates in charge of monitoring the implementation of the Conventions.
