Withdraw from the Ottawa Convention

Latvia, alongside Lithuania, Poland, and Estonia, is taking a decisive step toward strengthening its defense. Alongside a joint declaration by the Baltic and Polish defense ministers, the National Alliance has submitted a draft bill to withdraw from the Ottawa Convention.

With the security situation in our region deteriorating, we must ensure that we have access to all necessary tools for defense. Self-imposed restrictions can no longer take precedence over national security.

Saeima, the Latvian parliament, could begin deliberations as early as Thursday.
