This resolution designates April 4, 2025, as the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action, acknowledging the severe humanitarian and developmental challenges posed by landmines and unexploded ordnance. These explosive hazards threaten civilian populations in at least 60 countries, causing thousands of deaths and injuries annually and hindering the return of displaced people and economic development. The resolution highlights the urgent need for demining and clearance operations globally, including in areas affected by recent conflicts. The Senate reaffirms the United States' long-standing leadership and commitment to supporting international humanitarian efforts aimed at eliminating these explosive remnants of war. It calls upon the U.S. Government to continue providing necessary funding for demining activities and to maintain its international leadership role in clearing contaminated areas. The resolution also emphasizes the importance of addressing legacy mine contamination as an urgent humanitarian priority and supports the goal of intensifying efforts to clear mined areas to the fullest extent possible.
