UN Mine Action Service

The UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS) is a specialized unit within the United Nations that works to clear landmines and unexploded ordnance from conflict-affected areas. Its goal is to make environments safe for communities and facilitate peace and development. UNMAS coordinates mine clearance efforts, provides training, and supports mine-affected countries in destroying landmines and educating populations about their dangers. By removing these hidden threats, UNMAS helps prevent injuries, supports safe return to normal life, and promotes stability and sustainable development in regions impacted by conflict.
