This survey, disseminated by the Explosive Weapons Monitor in May 2025, collects information about endorsing states’ national efforts to implement the 2022 Political Declaration on Strengthening the Protection of Civilians from the Humanitarian Consequences Arising from the Use of Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas.
It is available in English, French and Spanish.
Information from survey responses are included in state profiles and a briefing paper assessessing the status of implementation of the Political Declaration, produced in advance of the second international follow-up conference in Costa Rica in November 2025.
Sharing regular updates on national implementation of the Political Declaration and responding to implementation surveys was a key recommendation in the outcome document from the first international follow-up conference, produced by Ireland, Norway and Costa Rica. Survey responses will contribute to state efforts to uphold the commitments set out in the Political Declaration, in particular on information sharing.
