NORWAY GIVES A FINANCIAL BOOST TO OAS
MINE-CLEARING PROGRAM
November 22, 2002
The government of Norway has provided a major boost to the Organization of American States’ (OAS) program to rid Central America of landmines by donating nearly $476,000.
Norway’s Permanent Observer, Ambassador Knut Vollebaek, on Thursday presented OAS Assistant Secretary General Luigi Einaudiwith the check, the latest contribution to enhance the operations of the Comprehensive Mine Action Program in Central America. The Norwegian contribution will help complete the humanitarian operations in Honduras before the de-mining program moves on to Guatemala.
Ambassador Vollebaek said his government was particularly happy to work with the OAS on its de-mining program. Recalling that five years ago Norway signed the Ottawa landmine treaty, he explained that, “For the government of Norway this has been a big issue over the years¾trying to help those countries that have been under the plight of [anti-] personnel mines.”
Thanking the Norwegian government for its ongoing strong support for the Organization’s programs, Ambassador Einaudi said he could “actually see the time when the South American continent and the Central American isthmus will be free of landmines.”
Since 1998, Norway has contributed some $4.1 million to the Program. Besides Norway, the main countries that have provided financial support are Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Russian Federation, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and United States.
The Comprehensive Mine Action Program has operated under the OAS Unit for the Promotion of Democracy since 1995. In addition to Honduras and Guatemala, the program assists with mine-clearing operations in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Peru.
