The Child To Adult Method In Mine Risk Education, Mudhafar Aziz Hamad
The Child To Adult Method In Mine Risk Education, Mudhafar Aziz Hamad
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
The author explains a child-to-adult approach to mine-risk education and how it uses the power of children as “little” MRE instructors in their communities. As part of this method, children use MRE lessons to teach adults and peers in their homes about the dangers of landmines and unexploded ordnance.

The Mine-Action Process In Iraqi Kurdistan, Jamal Jalal Hussein
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
The Iraqi Kurdistan Mine Action Agency has been working to clear Kurdistan of landmines and unexploded ordnance that were placed by the former Iraqi government over the past 40 years and the Iranian Army during the Iran-Iraq War from 1980–1988. The Agency is overcoming many challenges and has cleared a vast number of minefields so the land can be handed back to the owners. Casualties from explosive remnants of war are extremely high but a new mine-risk-education program will inform people who live in dangerous areas how to minimize the threat of explosive remnants of war.
