International Mine Action Standards

International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) are a set of guidelines that ensure landmine clearance and debris removal are done safely, effectively, and consistently worldwide. They provide best practices for planning, executing, and managing demining operations, helping protect deminers and communities while ensuring contaminated areas are thoroughly cleared. IMAS aim to standardize methods across different countries and organizations, reducing risks and increasing trust in demining efforts. By following these standards, operations become safer, more efficient, and transparent, ultimately contributing to the safety and recovery of communities affected by landmines and unexploded remnants of war.
