CRPD • Targets all persons with disabilities regardless of causes and types of disabilities • A paradigm shift from charity, medical models to social and human rights approach • Recognizes all the needs of persons with disabilities from a human rights angle • Provides an overarching mechanism on all fronts
MBT & CCM • Guarantee rights of landmine and cluster munition victims • Do not discriminate other persons with disabilities • Target over 30 mine and cluster bomb affected countries where victims live
Supporting Mechanism MBT and CCM • Cartagena Action Plan • Vientiane Action Plan UN-CRPD • Optional Protocol • The CRPD Committee
5. Connecting the Dotsfor each thematic area of victim assistance
funding situation Landmine & Cluster Munition Monitor: Latest figure – 2009-2010 • 449 million dollars to 54 countries • 15 of 33 mine action donors provided assistance, totaling 38 million dollars, or 9% of global mine action funding. 25% of 38 million went to ICRC and national red cross and red crescent societies
