"Crossing the Divide" examines village demining, the phenomenon in
Cambodia and elsewhere, where mine-affected communities take
matters into their own hands and clear their lands of this scourge. It is
based on field research conducted by Handicap International Belgium
in 2000. The author provides the first serious research on the problem
of village demining, the people involved and heightened awareness on
the need for this problem to be incorporated into mine action
practices. When released at the Fifth Meeting of States Parties (5MSP)
in Bangkok, Thailand, this book stirred debate in the mine action
community on the need to address this growing problem.
