Assistance in mine action : resolution / adopted by the General Assembly

Urges all mine-affected States to identify all areas under their jurisdiction containing mines and other explosive remnants of war in the most efficient manner possible; encourages affected States to proactively mainstream mine action and victim assistance requirements into development plans and processes to ensure that development priorities include mine action and that mine action is predictably funded; encourages all relevant multilateral, regional and national programmes and bodies to include activities related to mine action, including mine clearance, in their humanitarian, rehabilitation, reconstruction and development assistance activities; stresses the importance of cooperation and coordination in mine action; requests the Secretary-General to submit to the General Assembly at its 64th session a report on the implementation of the present resolution and on follow-up to previous resolutions on assistance in mine clearance and on assistance in mine action, including on relevant UN policies and activities.
