Today in Combat Engineering --
The International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action was approved by the General Assembly on December 8, 2005. It provides an opportunity for the United Nations Mine Action Service (U.N.M.A.S.) and other organizations to reflect on and raise awareness about landmines, explosive remnants of war, and improvised explosive devices (I.E.Ds), as well as take additional action toward their abolition. For over two decades, this body has been driven by the needs of people affected by landmines and is sensitive to the threat of explosive hazards faced by civilians, peacekeepers, and humanitarians.
