Richard Moyes is Policy and Research Director at Action on Armed Violence (formerly Landmine Action) and one of the co-chairs of the Cluster Munition Coalition.  He was one of the main civil society strategists in the development of the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions. 

He has previously been a humanitarian mine clearance programme manager and has undertaken extensive research on risk-taking behaviour amongst communities living with landmines and unexploded ordnance.  Current research and policy work addresses armed violence more broadly, with a specific focus on the problems of explosive weapons.
