action

Mine is not the only explosive
hazards pose a threat to civilians living in areas of conflict or post-conflict
that the weapons of war, unexploded bombs and explosive devices have killed
many aid workers, peacekeepers staff, journalists and many others. Afghanistan
is an example, according to the United Nations, the strength of explosives ca
massacre more than 10 times in comparison to the mines.
In the message given on the occasion
of anniversary, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said: remove landmines plays
an essential role to build an effective humane act in conflicts and
post-conflicts. This is one of the key messages of this International Day.
However, in many parts of the world, the new outbreak or recurrence conflicts
still leave the dangerous explosives, including landmines, ammunition and
explosive devices. "I particularly concern by the use of explosive weapons
in populated areas," - Mr. Ban noted.
According to the senior leader of the
United Nations, preventing and removing landmines is an investment for
humanity. It promotes social peace by allowing those in need can receive
support, displace and refugees return home safely, children can go to school.
Removing landmines also help to create a safe environment, where you can
perform the developing and rebuilding activities, create the basis for a lasting
peace.
On the International Day of Raising
awareness on landmines and supporting mine removal this year (04/04/2016), the
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called on the international
community to act together to achieve our common goal of a world completely without
landmines and explosive remnants of war.
Recovering the "land of
death" or raising awareness about mine safety for people as well as strengthening
demining efforts is a meaningful and practical work to ensure a safe life for
people and save more people living on earth. /.
