Article 5 – AP MBC
• Identify all known or suspected minedareas.
• Ensure all mined areas perimeter marked, monitored and fenced.
• Destroy all anti-personnel mines in minedareas under its control

The Problem
• General assessments and impact surveys have led to large areas of ”suspect” land, but in reality much less is actually mined
• Anti-vehicle mines and ERW also likely to be present
• Good procedures in place for full clearance, but not land release

Our responsibility to demonstrate that land is NOT contaminated by mines and ERW… by whatever means.

Broad principlesBroad principles
1. A formal, well-documented and recorded process of investigation into the mine/ERW problem;
2. Well-defined and objective criteria for the reclassification of land;
3. A high degree of community involvement and acceptance of the decision making;
4. A formal process of handover of land prior to the release of land;
5. An ongoing monitoring mechanism after the handover has taken place;
6. A formal national policy addressing liability issues; and
7. A common set of terminology to be used when describing the process.
