United Nations Mine Action Service

The United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) is a specialized UN agency that works to clear landmines and unexploded ordnance in post-conflict areas. Its goal is to make communities safe, enable the return of displaced people, and support sustainable development. UNMAS coordinates demining efforts, provides training, educates communities about mine risks, and advocates for policies to prevent landmine use. By removing these hidden dangers, UNMAS helps save lives, restore safe access to land, and promote stability and recovery in affected regions.
