Finland has informed the United Nations that it will withdraw from a treaty banning the use of anti-personnel landmines, citing a ‘deteriorated security environment,’ the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on July 10.
The withdrawal from the Ottawa Anti-Personnel Landmines Convention will take effect in January 2026, the ministry said in a statement.
