FRANCE CONTRIBUTES TO OAS MINE-CLEARING OPERATIONS
December 18, 2002
The government of France has contributed $75,000 to the OAS’ Comprehensive Mine Action Program in Central America. The French contribution will help to carry on a program to rehabilitate landmine victims—the joint initiative of the Mine Action Program and the National Technological Institute of Nicaragua (INATEC).
Director of the OAS National Office in Nicaragua, Sergio Caramagna, accepted the donation on behalf of the Organization, from France’s Ambassador to Nicaragua, Michael Vanderpoorter, during a ceremony in Nicaragua December 12. The French Ambassador described the donation as an expression of France’s desire to collaborate on peace and democracy initiatives in the Western Hemisphere.
Meanwhile, Ambassador Sylvie Alvarez, France’s Permanent Observer to the OAS, said: “We believe the OAS’ mine-clearing programs are very important in terms of the implementation of the Ottawa Convention.” In a letter to the UPD Executive Coordinator announcing the donation, she explained that it was earmarked for a pilot project under which 32 individuals handicapped by landmines are being rehabilitated.
France has contributed in the past to the Program’s operations in Nicaragua, with this latest gift reaffirming its commitment to the Ottawa Convention banning the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of anti-personnel landmines.
In addition to France, 16 other countries have financially supported the Program—among them Canada, Denmark, Norway, Spain, Sweden, United States and United Kingdom—altogether contributing more than $24.5 million since 1998.
The Comprehensive Mine Action Program has operated under the purview of the Unit for the Promotion of Democracy since it was established in 1995. The Program assists with mine action in Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru.
