Humanity & Inclusion is launching a global campaign: "The Nobel Piece. Repairing peace, together." Twenty-eight years after winning the Nobel Peace Prize for civil society's relentless fight to ban anti-personnel mines, these weapons are on the rise again: massive use in recent armed conflicts, states withdrawing from the Ottawa Treaty, new mine production, etc. Faced with this urgent situation, HI will call on states to fulfil their responsibilities to comply with the Treaty and stop the return of these insidious weapons, which kill civilians in 90% of cases, by presenting them with fragments of the Nobel Prize – a symbol of peace that is now in pieces.
Seven Humanity & Inclusion staff have been awarded the Humanitarian Medal, approved by HM The King, for their lifesaving work in Gaza. They are the first Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team to receive the award.
Double amputee Ayman can move again freely with the support of Humanity & Inclusion.
