For more than 30 years SafeGround has engaged and worked with people and communities affected by war and conflict. Since the early 1990s we have actively supported and participated in the universalisation of the Mine Ban Treaty and Convention on Cluster Munitions. We are now working on the campaigning to stop lethal autonomous weapons.
