Abstract:

Norwegian Peoples Aid NPA has been operational in improvised explosive device IED clearance in Hamdaniya, Iraq, since January 2017. Additionally, MAG Mines Advisory Group has operated in the same area clearing IEDs since September 2015 and has had operations in many parts of both Iraq and Syria. Other nongovernmental organizations NGO clearing IEDs include Handicap International and the Swiss Foundation for Mine Action FSD. Without question, IED clearance is now an established part of humanitarian mine action HMA. Yet this does not mean HMA should adopt the full spectrum of IED disposal IEDD operations. Rather, NGOs can provide invaluable capacity only within the appropriate humanitarian context.
