International Mine Awareness Day History

International Mine Awareness Day was declared by the United Nations General Assembly on 2005. This observance calls the attention for potential mines and explosives that remained in land after the end of wars. These objects can cause massive destruction and harm a significant amount of civilians. The United Nations Mine Action Service has been working towards avoiding tragedies and helping the ones affected by explosives for over 20 years. The observance occurs every year on April 4th.
