Explosive Weapons & Their Impact
In 2023 over 34,700 casualties from explosive weapons were recorded, the majority of those civilians. That number will keep growing.
The horrific situations in Ukraine, Gaza, Yemen, Sudan, and many more current conflicts around the world, make the constitution of the new All-Party Parliamentary Group on Explosive Weapons & Their Impact (APPGEW) more relevant than it’s predecessor groups have ever been.
The aim of the APPG is to keep parliamentarians informed on issues relating to Explosive Ordnance Disposal, mine-action and victim assistance with the goal of ensuring suitable and sustainable government policy in those areas. The United Kingdom has an enviable global reputation and our explosive ordnance disposal capability is a powerful political and diplomatic tool.
In the coming new Parliament the APPG will explore a number of issues relating to the use and mitigation of explosive weapons, and more importantly, their devastating impact upon innocent civilians and the real human cost.
The All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Explosive Weapons & Their Impact is an independent group of backbench MPs and Peers created to consider the humanitarian consequences of the manufacture, possession, sale, purchase, transport and unlawful use of explosive weapons. The group acts as a focal point for debate and the exchange of ideas, views and information.
