Following the implementation of mine action programs in Afghanistan,
Angola, Cambodia and Mozambique, the United Nations Department of
Humanitarian Affairs sponsored a "Study Report on the Development
of Indigenous Mine Action Capacities" to identify the lessons learned
from past UN-supported mine action programs. The report concludes
that the humanitarian implications of landmines need to be re-defined
to take account of the impact of landmines on communities and
individual families and that there needs to be a coherent program that
develops specific mine action skills and capabilities for effective
national programs.
