This range of activities is also sometimes referred to as <a href="/wiki/Demining" title="Demining">demining</a>. </p><p>Humanitarian mine clearance aims to clear land so that civilians can return to their homes and their everyday routines without the threat of landmines and unexploded remnants of war (ERW), which include unexploded ordnance and abandoned explosive ordnance. This means that all the mines and ERW affecting the places where ordinary people live must be cleared, and their safety in areas that have been cleared must be guaranteed. Mines are cleared and the areas are thoroughly verified so that they can say without a doubt that the land is now safe, and people can use it without worrying about the weapons. The aim of humanitarian demining is to restore peace and security at the community level. </p><p><b>Mine clearance methods:</b> </p> <ul><li>Surveying <ul><li>Surveying, or the formal gathering of mine-related information, is required before actual clearance can begin. Impact surveys assess the socio-economic impact of the mine contamination and help assign priorities for the clearance of particular areas. Impact surveys make use of all available sources of information, including minefield records (where they exist), data about mine victims, and interviews with former combatants and local people. Technical surveys then define the minefields and provide detailed maps for the clearance operations.</li></ul></li> <li>Maps <ul><li>Maps resulting from the impact surveys and technical surveys are stored in an information management system, including a variety of programme databases, and provide baseline data for clearance organisations and operational planning.</li></ul></li> <li>Minefield marking <ul><li>Minefield marking is carried out when a mined area is identified, but clearance operations cannot take place immediately. Minefield marking, which is intended to deter people from entering mined areas, has to be carried out in combination with mine awareness, so that the local population understands the meaning and importance of the signs.</li></ul></li> <li>Manual clearance <ul><li>Manual clearance relies on trained deminers using metal detectors and long thin prodders to locate the mines, which are then destroyed by controlled explosion.</li></ul></li> <li>Mine detection dogs <ul><li>Mine detection dogs, which detect the presence of explosives in the ground by smell.

These machines can only be used in certain terrains, and are expensive to operate. In most situations they are also not 100% reliable, and the work needs to be checked by other techniques.</li></ul></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mine_Risk_Education_(MRE)"><span id="Mine_Risk_Education_.28MRE.29"></span>Mine Risk Education (MRE)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=United_Nations_Mine_Action_Service&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Mine Risk Education (MRE)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:TBJ_4681_(8621592150).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/TBJ_4681_%288621592150%29.jpg/220px-TBJ_4681_%288621592150%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/TBJ_4681_%288621592150%29.jpg/330px-TBJ_4681_%288621592150%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/TBJ_4681_%288621592150%29.jpg/440px-TBJ_4681_%288621592150%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="7360" data-file-height="4912" /></a><figcaption>A <a href="/wiki/Bomb_disposal" title="Bomb disposal">bomb disposal</a> technician holds up a mortar shell during a demonstration held by the UNMAS in Mogadishu, Somalia.</figcaption></figure> <p>Risk education, or RE, refers to educational activities aimed at reducing the risk of injury from mines and unexploded ordnance by raising awareness and promoting behavioural change through public-information campaigns, education and training, and liaison with communities. </p><p>RE ensures that communities are aware of the risks from mines, unexploded ordnance and/or abandoned munitions and are encouraged to behave in ways that reduce the risk to people, property and the environment.

Sixty-five countries have now destroyed their stockpiles of antipersonnel landmines, destroying a combined total of more than 37 million mines. Another 51 countries have officially declared not having a stockpile of antipersonnel mines and a further three countries are scheduled to destroy their stockpiles by the end of the year. </p><p>There are many options available to states in destroying their stockpiles. Stockpiles are usually destroyed by the military, but an industrial solution can also be employed. The techniques used vary depending on the make-up of the mines and the conditions in which they are found. The complete destruction cycle involves aspects such as transportation and storage, processing operations, equipment maintenance, staff training and accounting, as well as the actual physical destruction. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Inter-Agency_Coordination_Group_on_Mine_Action">Inter-Agency Coordination Group on Mine Action</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=United_Nations_Mine_Action_Service&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Inter-Agency Coordination Group on Mine Action"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Inter-Agency Coordination Group on Mine Action (IACG-MA) is a coalition of 12 United Nations offices, specialized agencies, funds and programmes that work to divide of labor within the United Nations regarding mine action.
