landmines/cluster munitions | Asia | Middle East

Alexandra Hiniker has led humanitarian disarmament initiatives in some of the world’s most bombed and mined countries, first with the United Nations in Cambodia, and then with the Cluster Munition Coalition in Laos, followed by Lebanon. Next, she established the PAX office in New York and served as the Representative to the United Nations, focusing on humanitarian disarmament and the protection of civilians in Syria, Iraq, and South Sudan. She currently chairs the Legacies of War Board of Directors.

Hiniker can speak about policies on landmines and cluster munitions, drawing from her experience in affected countries as well as her time as an advocate at the United Nations. She earned a B.A. from the University of Chicago, an M.A. from Uniwersytet Jagielloński in Kraków, Poland, and an M.S. in Urban Policy and Leadership from Hunter College in New York City. She also studied at Sciences Po-Paris.
