Afghanistan’S Landmine-Removal Extension Request, Justyna Pietralik Apr 2013

Afghanistan’S Landmine-Removal Extension Request, Justyna Pietralik

The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction

Recent conflicts, lack of funding and limited information about mined areas in Afghanistan has prevented the country from meeting its 2013 deadline of becoming mine impact-free. The Mine Action Programme of Afghanistan, along with the Afghan government, submitted a plan proposing to extend Afghanistan’s landmine-removal deadline to 2023. The extension request included almost 200 pages of details regarding mine history and future plans.
