What We Do

SafeGround is an Australian humanitarian organisation that works to minimise the impacts of weapons of war, in particular legacy weapons such as explosive remnants of war, cluster munitions and landmines and .emerging fully autonomous weapons. 

Our projects focus on preventing harm caused by weapons through promoting international treaties and on the ground in countries and communities affected by unexploded ordinance. We work with affected communities, governments, and NGOs, both in Australia and overseas.

We advocate the eradication of indiscriminate legacy weapons such as landmines, cluster bombs and nuclear weapons that continue to maim and kill civilians long after the fighting of a war has ended. We also research Lethal Autonomous Weapons (LAWS), popularly known as “Killer Robots”, which are design to identify and attack targets without human involvement.
