On 8 December 2005,
the General Assembly declared that 4 April of each year shall be observed
as the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action.
It called for
continued efforts by States, with the assistance of the United Nations and
relevant organizations, to foster the establishment and development of national
mine-action capacities in countries where mines and explosive remnants of war
constitute a serious threat to the safety, health and lives of the civilian
population, or an impediment to social and economic development at the national
and local levels.
