OAS AND SURINAME TO HONOR HONDURANS FOR
CONTRIBUTION TO SURINAME MINE-CLEARING
March 15, 2005
A group of Honduran minesweepers who worked on mine-clearing operations in Stolkersjiver, in Suriname’s interior, are to be honored during a special ceremony being arranged by the Organization of American States (OAS) and the government of Suriname. The ceremony will be held in Stolkersjiver on March 17.
Through the Honduran assistance, mine-clearing in the area will conclude in about 45 days. Operations are currently on schedule with the Hondurans working alongside a team of Surinamese minesweepers in the Stolkersjiver area. The mines that are being unearthed were left over from the country’s civil war of the 1980s.
The de-mining operations began this past February, under an agreement the government and the OAS signed last year. Suriname, which has ratified the international landmine treaty known as the Ottawa Convention, a year ago destroyed its last remaining 146 landmines that had been stockpiled at the Bos Bivak military base.
The mine-clearing program is being coordinated through the OAS Comprehensive Mine Action Program, with technical supervision provided by the Inter-American Defense Board (IADB). The governments of Brazil, Canada, and the United States have supported the effort by way of consultancy services as well as funding and equipment.
This is the second land mine project the OAS is coordinating in Suriname. The first was 11 years ago, after the government requested OAS assistance to clear and destroy land mines and other explosive devices, under the “Pur Baka” operation.
