Geneva Call

Geneva Call

Geneva Call is a Swiss-based NGO working to encourage non-state actors in international conflicts (such as guerrilla groups, liberation movements, and militias) to understand and respect international law, which is generally designed only to encompass states and state armies. They are presently focusing their efforts on landmines, and are attempting to get armed non-state actors to voluntarily renounce the use of these weapons.
