What is Article 22?

Article 22 is part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was a milestone document proclaimed in 1948. It lists fundamental human rights to be universally protected. Article 22 states that everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality.

Buy Back the Bombs

This project speaks to humanity. You can transform weapons into meaningful works of art. The process of melting and recasting of aluminum shrapnel into meaningful jewelry changes the trajectory of a bomb. Each piece gives back to support traditional Laotian artisan livelihoods, village development, community endeavors and further de-mining efforts.

Your purchase contributes to MAG (Mines Advisory Group) to safely & expertly clear undetonated bombs in Laos.

 $32 clears 2m2 of Laotian landscape.
