CANADA CONTINUES ITS SUPPORT FOR OAS MINE ACTION PROGRAM
March 24, 2008
The Organization of American States (OAS) Office of Humanitarian Mine Action (OHMA) will continue to aid several of Latin America’s landmine affected communities, thanks to important contributions from the Canadian government.
Totaling more than Can$1.5 million, the latest Canadian contribution will help advance de-mining operations for 35 of Colombia’s target project; de-mine an area known as “La Cordillera del Cóndor” on the Ecuador-Peru border; and carry out de-mining operations in Nicaragua for the first part of 2008. In addition, funds will also be channeled towards supporting the implementation of mine risk education projects and assist in reducing traumatic physical, psychological, economic, and social effects experienced by hundreds of landmine survivors. The Canadian contribution also includes support for the destruction of expired and obsolete munitions, and for OHMA’s regional coordination activities.
Land mines buried in Colombia and Nicaragua and in the Ecuador-Peru border region are result of internal and external conflicts. Colombia’s de-mining operations are pressing ahead: the last three months of 2007, saw 431 mines and explosive devices destroyed through OAS assistance. The Peru-Ecuador de-mining efforts continue to focus on developing national capabilities. Implementation of Nicaragua’s National De-mining Plan is well underway—some 94% complete. OHMA strives to continue its support to Nicaraguan de-mining efforts in order to complete their National Demining Plan by 2009 and declare Central America the first major region in the world to be rid of the threat of anti-personnel mines.
For over 16 years the OAS has helped member states grapple with landmines and their aftermath. The hemispheric organization has overseen the conclusion of mine action projects in Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala and Suriname.
The Canadian government has remained a key supporter of humanitarian mine action in the Americas since 1996. In 1997, Canada gained international renown for its campaign against antipersonnel landmines, as it spearheaded the initiative for the United Nations “Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction,” better known as the Ottawa Convention.
