The Journal is your voice to the CWD community

The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction is an international forum for issues related to post-conflict environments and explosive hazards clearance for the conventional weapons destruction (CWD) community—including humanitarian mine action (HMA) and physical security and stockpile management (PSSM). The Journal is a platform for practitioners, researchers, governmental and nongovernmental organizations working in HMA, PSSM, and the wider development and humanitarian sectors to share emerging technologies, program information, research and development, and best practices. Since its launch in 1997, The Journal has functioned as a historical resource for the mine action community, presenting a chronological reflection on the vast developments within the sector.

The Journal is produced by the Center for International Stabilization and Recovery at James Madison University and sponsored by the U.S. Department of State.
