UNITED STATES PLEDGES $1.9 MILLION
TO OAS HUMANITARIAN MINE ACTION PROGRAMS
July 6, 2006
The government of the United States has pledged contributions totaling $1,852,500.00 to the Organization of American States (OAS), to support landmine programs in Nicaragua, Honduras and Chile. The pledge was made on Wednesday by the State Department’s Office of Weapons Reduction and Abatement.
Over $1.45 million of the U.S. contribution will to be channeled through the OAS Mine Action Program (AICMA) to support humanitarian mine-clearing operations in Nicaragua’s Northern Atlantic Autonomous Region, specifically for training, replacement of equipment and defraying costs involved in hiring more than 150 mine-clearing experts for one year.
The AICMA program has assisted Nicaragua in identifying and destroying 90 percent of the approximately 146,000 landmines buried in that country. Nicaragua, which destroyed its more than 133,000 stockpiled mines in 2002, is expected to complete its landmine activities in 2007. The AICMA program supports mine-clearing operations with technical assistance from the Inter-American Defense Board. Nicaragua ratified the Ottawa landmine treaty in 1999.
In addition, a U.S. contribution of $112,500.00 to the OAS will be used to assist Chilean authorities with purchases and support in implementing the National Demining Plan.
The U.S. pledge includes also a $283,000 grant for victim assistance in Nicaragua and Honduras under the OAS-sponsored victim assistance program in conjunction with the Polus Center for Social and Economic Development. This grant will help provide 325 landmine survivors in Nicaragua and Honduras with physical and psychological rehabilitation, and 65 will be provided vocational training in their communities.
Since 1997, the OAS has assisted some 900 landmine victims with medical treatment, prostheses, counseling, and vocational assistance, among other support. The OAS collaborates with the National Technological Institute of Nicaragua (INATEC) on post-rehabilitation training in Nicaragua, and with the Polus Center for training in Honduras.
More than 20 countries have committed over $54 million to support OAS landmine activities since the organization launched its program in 1991.
