2022 Humanitarian Demining report “To Walk the Earth in Safety released

The Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement in the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs (PM/WRA) has just published its annual “To Walk the Earth in Safety.” PM/WRA’s mission is to reduce the harmful worldwide effects of at-risk, illicitly-proliferated, and indiscriminately used conventional weapons of war.

The report highlights the work of several government agencies including DSCA’s Humanitarian Demining Training Center (HDTC). Located at Fort Lee in Virginia, HDTC serves as the DoD lead for training U.S. and partner nation personnel in Humanitarian Mine Action which builds capacity in explosives remnants of war disposal and the physical security and stockpile management of conventional stockpiled munitions: https://www.state.gov/reports/to-walk-the-earth-in-safety-2022/
