International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action 2020

International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action 2020

International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action is observed on 4 April each year.

The decision to mark the day as Mine Awareness Day was announced by the United Nations General Assembly on 8 December, 2005.

International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action calls for continued efforts to encourage states to establish and develop national mine-action capacities.

This is done because mines and explosive remnants of war constitute a serious threat to the safety, health and lives of the civilian populations and an impediment to social and economic development.
