OAS MINE-CLEARING PROGRAM SEEKING SUPPORT
FOR LATIN AMERICA PROJECTS
March 15, 2002
The Organization of American States (OAS) Comprehensive Mine Action Program today appealed for continued assistance from the international community for its mine-clearing programs in various countries of the Americas.
The program is facing serious financial difficulties that could interrupt mine-clearing programs in Central America, at a time when some of those nations are close to being declared landmine-free, Col. William McDonnnough, Coordinator of the Mine Action Program of the Unit for the Promotion of Democracy (UPD), told a meeting of the OAS Committee on Hemispheric Security. Panama's Ambassador to the OAS, Juan Manuel Castulovich, chairs that Committee.
McDonnough warned that unless the necessary funding is secured, some of the current programs would have to be cut, completion deadlines for some would have to be extended and certain activities related to de-mining could even be suspended.
Daniel Livermore, Canada's Ambassador for Landmine Action, joined Mary Wareham of Human Rights Watch commenting on the status of the Ottawa Convention which, three years after entering into force, has been ratified by 122 countries worldwide. A report was also presented by Muñiz Costa, chief of De-Mining for the Inter-American Defense Board, on humanitarian de-mining in the region.
Nicaraguan Ambassador to the OAS, Lombardo Martínez, meanwhile urged donor countries not to abandon Central America amid ongoing efforts to rid the territories of anti-personnel landmines. He said that Hurricane Mitch had dealt a severe blow to the mine-clearing program in his country.
Ambassador Humberto de la Calle of Colombia appealed for technical and financial assistance for his country's mine action program, which includes mine-clearing, preventive awareness on landmines, aid to landmine victims and establishment and maintenance of a data bank.
The Alternate Representative of Ecuador, Rafael Veintimilla, and his Peruvian counterpart, Jorge Wurst, gave progress reports on mine-clearing in the Ecuador-Peru border region.
