Join us on 1 March 2019 to commemorate 20 years of the Convention

As the sun sets on 1 March, Geneva’s iconic Jet d’eau will be illuminated in blue to mark the 20 years since the Convention entered into force.

The 20 years of action towards a minefree world provides us with an opportunity to apply lessons learnt towards achieving the 2025 mine-free ambition.
