The Organization of American States (OAS) will support demining and the destruction of unexploded ordnance in Suriname, under a new agreement with that country’s government. Suriname’s Minister of Defense, Ronald Assen, and the Director of the OAS national office in Suriname, Kingsley Layne, signed the agreement in Paramaribo on November 30.
The demining operations, which will receive financial support from the government of Canada, will begin during the first few months of next year. The mission will be made up of a platoon of Honduran soldiers, who will work with the Surinamese Army to clear landmines in the Stolkersijver area, in the interior of the country. It is the last zone where there are known to be buried mines, remnants of Suriname’s internal conflict of the 1980s.
This is the second time the OAS and Suriname have worked together in anti-landmine activities. In 1992, the country’s Peace Accord included demining operations coordinated by a special OAS mission and supported by the governments of Brazil and Guyana, which contributed military experts and demining equipment.
