The Kingdom of Norway has awarded the Organization of American States (OAS) the amount of 3,600,000 Norwegian kroner (some 600,000 US dollars) to support demining and other related activities in Nicaragua and in the Peru-Ecuador border region during the upcoming year. The contribution will be channeled through the OAS program for Comprehensive Action against Antipersonnel Mines also known by its Spanish acronym, AICMA.
The contribution is partially destined to support mine risk education activities in Nicaragua and to maintain a residual capability for clearance of mines and unexploded ordnance. Nicaragua is scheduled to complete its National Demining Program upon clearance of all known minefields by May 2010. Nevertheless, several sites remain contaminated by unexploded ordnance left from the internal conflict of the 1980’s.
This financial contribution also supports humanitarian demining and mine risk education in affected communities along the Peru-Ecuador border. The AICMA program has also attracted international partners in coordinating for 2010 an innovative approach using mechanical equipment to clear antipersonnel mines in a sector of the Rio Chira between the two countries.
Norway’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed to the OAS its appreciation for the organization’s continued involvement in antipersonnel mine action in Latin America to assist states in their efforts to fulfill the humanitarian objectives of the Mine Ban Convention, and underlined the importance of complying with obligations under Article 5 of the mentioned Convention as soon as possible.
Norway, an OAS permanent observer country, also chaired the Second Review Conference of the 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, held at the beginning of this month.
