The International Campaign to Ban Landmines and Cluster Munition Coalition (ICBL-CMC) operate a joint campaign membership comprised of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). No joining fee or annual subscription is required, rather applicants are requested to:

1) Endorse the calls to action by the CMC and ICBL;

2) Agree to abide by the ICBL-CMC Membership Pledge; and

3) Submit a completed Application Form (available on page 2).

STEP ONE: Endorse the calls

Please review the following strategic goals [add a link to strategic plan later] of the ICBL-CMC:

  • No more use of landmines or cluster munitions;
  • A significant decrease in land contaminated by landmines and cluster munitions;
  • Measurable progress in the quality of life for victims of mines and cluster munitions

And confirm that your organisation understands, endorses and commits to work for them. Advocacy work in every country is different and often focused primarily on either landmines, or cluster munitions so endorsing calls to action on both weapons does not require that members actively work on both issues.

STEP TWO: Agree to the membership pledge

Membership Pledge

The following pledge describes the responsibilities that members agree to by joining and participating in the International Campaign to Ban Landmines and Cluster Munition Coalition (ICBL-CMC):

  • Abide by the ICBL-CMC Code of Conduct during meetings and events;
  • Cordially and respectfully exchange views and resolve conflicts.

  • Advice, encouragement, and support to all campaign members;
  • Regular information on campaign activities, actions, and available resources;
  • Facilitation and coordination of the CMC and ICBL networks, including dispute resolution;
