On International Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action Day, marked each year on 4 April, attention is focused on the continued threat posed by landmines and other explosive remnants of war long after conflict has ended.
Explosive contamination restricts safe movement, delays recovery and places civilians at ongoing risk. Clearing these hazards is a necessary first step toward restoring access to land, infrastructure and essential services.
Global Clearance Solutions (GCS) supports mine action efforts through the delivery of clearance capability, training and operational support, working alongside national authorities and partners to reduce explosive risk and enable safer communities.
The accompanying video highlights why mine action remains critical and how systematic clearance contributes to recovery and long-term stability.
