UN Mine Action Service
The UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS) is a part of the United Nations that focuses on reducing the threat posed by landmines and explosive remnants of war. It works to support countries in clearing these dangerous materials, helping to create safer environments for communities affected by conflict. UNMAS also provides training and resources to local authorities to enhance their capacity in mine action.
In addition to clearance operations, UNMAS promotes awareness and education about the risks of landmines. It collaborates with various partners, including governments and non-governmental organizations, to implement effective mine action programs. This effort is crucial for humanitarian assistance and long-term development in post-conflict areas.
