EUROPEAN COMMISSION CONTRIBUTES ONE MILLION EUROS TO SUPPORT OAS DEMINING OPERATIONS IN ECUADOR AND PERU
January 18, 2006
The European Commission has committed one million euros to support humanitarian demining and other mine action activities in Ecuador and Peru this year, through a program coordinated by the Organization of American States (OAS).
Representatives of the Latin American Directorate of the European Commission’s Office of Cooperation and the OAS Mine Action Program have signed a cooperation agreement, and implementation is expected to begin by March.
The European Commission previously supported OAS-coordinated humanitarian mine action activities in 2004 in Nicaragua.
“We wish to profoundly thank all the international donors who support our programs and have allowed us to continue this humanitarian task,” said William McDonough, who coordinates the OAS Mine Action Program. “The battle against mines can only be successful if we commit ourselves to build better coordination and cooperation among and between those of us dedicated to the proposition of a landmine-safe world,” he added.
In the case of Ecuador and Peru, landmines are located in the border region, in the Condor Mountain Range. OAS mine action efforts started in both countries in 2001, and as a result of this effort, the government of Ecuador will begin to build a bridge by mid-2006 in a former mined area called Macará-La Tina.
Peru and Ecuador are both parties to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction, also known as the Ottawa Convention.
The OAS Mine Action Program coordinates its efforts with the technical assistance of the Inter-American Defense Board (IADB). In addition to the programs in Nicaragua, Ecuador and Peru, the OAS initiated a humanitarian demining program last year in Colombia. In the last three years, it has completed demining activities in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras and Suriname.
Apart from the European Commission, 16 countries support the efforts of the OAS Mine Action Program. Since the program’s inception, nearly 15 years ago, financial and in-kind contributions from these countries have totaled more than $75 million.
