  1. “I wish to assure the Council of the strong commitment of UNMAS to support the Secretary-General and the work of the Council in advancing the peace and security agenda in general.”

  2. “(spoke in English) In response to the call by the Secretary-General in his report on countering the threat posed by improvised explosive devices (A/7l/187), UNMAS is also using its expertise to coordinate the development of standards for the United Nations on the disposal of improvised explosive devices. The standards, expected to be completed by the seventy-second session of the General Assembly, will ensure conformity in training, equipment and operations. UNMAS is also taking steps to identify the building blocks for a whole-of-United Nations response to improvised explosive device threat mitigation. That has been a key area of concern, especially for troop-contributing countries. The Security Council expects to be kept informed about threats and efforts to mitigate the threats posed by explosive hazards.”

  3. “The strong leadership and coordination role of the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) supports and promotes those achievements, as has been recognized by Member States. The role of UNMAS in the field in coordinating the work of the mine-action sector, including in complex operational environments such as in Iraq, provides a coherent, focused response, increased efficiency and cost- effective delivery. The doctrine developed by UNMAS, through broad and comprehensive negotiations includes guidelines for reducing the threat posed to peacekeepers by the use of improvised explosive devices, which provides direction for a consistent response within the affected mission, and also includes international mine action standards used by all operators to provide safe and effective operations on a global scale.”

  4. “With regard to conflict prevention, the depollution and destruction of anti-personnel mines, explosive remnants of war and improvised explosive devices make it impossible to access explosive materials that could be recycled and used to construct new improvised explosive devices. Reintegrating demobilized soldiers and employing individuals from affected communities in the area of mine action play a role in creating conditions conducive to peace. (spoke in Russian) As we have observed in peace processes, such as in Colombia, mine action is an effective tool that allows for the rapid and early strengthening of confidence and peace in very complex and politically sensitive environments.”

  5. “In Colombia, mine action was one of the first items parties negotiating peace agreed and acted upon. (spoke in French) Today's debate reminds us that it is important to take account of mine action in the formulation of mandates and in renewing them. The Secretary-General's vision for the reform of the peace and security architecture is structured around a continuum from prevention to conflict resolution and from to peacebuilding and sustainable development, with strong partnerships playing a central role. Through partnerships with States, regional agreements such as the one we have with the African Union, and with civil society, mine action is able to demonstrate its operational effectiveness and its capacity for implementation through a wide range of the Organization's priorities.”

  6. “It is also of critical importance to the protection of civilian populations, especially children and women. I will present only a few impressive examples of how this challenge is addressed by United Nations peacekeepers. In Mali, training for peacekeepers enhances their capacity to mitigate the threat posed by improvised explosive devices and saves their lives. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, clearing explosive remnants of war and other explosive hazards enables safe movement for conflict-affected communities. In South Sudan, the use of explosives detection dogs ensures that protection-of-civilian sites are free from explosive hazards. In Iraq, vast risk education campaigns and humanitarian clearance of improvised explosive devices allow for the safe return of displaced populations and the delivery of humanitarian assistance.”

  7. “The Security Council deploys peace operations in increasingly complex and asymmetric environments. The threats posed by landmines, explosive remnants of war and improvised explosive devices aggravate humanitarian crises and hamper emergency responses. Explosive hazards injure and kill civilians, peacekeepers and humanitarian workers, and their presence undermines the prospects for long-term sustainable peace. (spoke in English) Echoing the words of the Secretary-General, peace without mine action is incomplete peace. Mine action achieves results in the most difficult operating environments. As an integrated component of peacekeeping and special political missions, mine action is critical to the safety, security and mobility of mission personnel and to effective and efficient mandate implementation.”
