Humanitarian Mine Action encompasses a range of efforts focused on mitigating the threat posed by these explosive hazards and assisting affected communities in their clearance, risk education, victim assistance, and advocacy efforts. HMA plays a critical role in addressing the humanitarian consequences of landmines, UXO, and ERW and in contributing to peacebuilding, development, and the protection of human rights in affected communities.
