United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS)

The United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) is a division of the UN that focuses on reducing the dangers posed by landmines and unexploded ordnance in conflict-affected areas. Its mission includes clearing these dangerous materials to make land safe for communities, promoting awareness and education about the risks, and supporting countries to strengthen their mine action capabilities. By doing so, UNMAS helps protect lives, restore livelihoods, and contribute to post-conflict recovery and peacebuilding efforts, ensuring a safer environment for everyone.
