Landmines and unexploded ordnance pose significant threats to civilian populations, creating humanitarian and developmental challenges with lasting social, economic, and security consequences in over 60 countries. The United States has been a global leader in addressing this issue, dedicating over $4.6 billion since 1993 to demining and related programs in 120 countries, including providing assistance to war victims and clearing contamination in areas where U.S. forces have operated. This resolution supports the recognition of April 4th as the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action, reaffirming the U.S. commitment to international humanitarian efforts to eliminate these hazards. It calls upon the U.S. Government to continue providing necessary funding, maintain its international leadership role, and rededicate itself to addressing legacy mine contamination as an urgent humanitarian priority. The resolution also recognizes the individuals who risk their lives in demining efforts and the communities affected by past conflicts.
