The UNMAS Annual Report 2021

Demonstrating perseverance typical of the mine action sector, UNMAS programmes made progress in the removal and destruction of tens of thousands of items of explosive ordnance, improved the safety of millions of people, strengthened the national capacity of multiple governments and reduced the threat and impact of explosive ordnance attacks carried out against United Nations peace operations. Since its establishment in 1997, UNMAS has adapted to the operational challenges of insecure and volatile environments; 2021 was no different.
