Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Definition:

1. The NATO Standardization Agreement (STANAG) defines UXO as” Explosive ordnance which has been primed, fuzed, or otherwise prepared for action, and which has been fired, dropped, launched, projected or placed in such as a manner as to constitute a hazard to operations, installations, personnel or materials and remains exploded either by malfunction or design or for any other cause”.

2. Australian Department of Defense defines UXO as ” Unexploded ordnance (UXO) is any sort of military ammunition or explosive which has failed to explode as intended. It includes sea mines or shells used by Navy, motor bombs, mines, artillery shells or hand grenades used by the army, bombs, rockets, or missiles used by the air forces and many other types of ammunitions and explosives including training munitions”.

3. The IMAS definition of unexploded ordnance (UXO) is: “Explosive ordnance that has been primed, fuzed, armed, or otherwise prepared for used or used. It could have been fired, dropped, launched or projected yet remains unexploded either through malfunction or design, or for any other reason”.

** This definition does not refer to laid minefields or stockpiled ammunition and explosives.

2. Policy and Risk Management to address the problems2.1 Definitions: UXO, ERW and Mine Action

Mine Action Definition:

1. Mine Action is: “Activities which aim to reduce the social, economic and environmental impact of mines and ERW.

Note: • Mine Action is not just about demining, it is also about people and societies, and

how they are affected by landmine and ERW contamination. The objective of mine action is to reduce the risk from landmines and ERW to a level where people can live safely, in which economic, social and health development can occur free from the constraints imposed by landmines and ERW contamination, and in which the victims’ needs can be addressed. Mine Action comprises five complementary groups of activities.

• Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) is: “Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) and Abandoned Explosive Ordnance (AXO) (CCW Protocol V)

• CMAC defines Anti Tank landmines similar to UXO (some cases)

The Policy and Legal Framework

1. The Ottawa Convention: – signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 3 December 1997, and ratified on 28 July 1999

– the treaty entered into force on 01 January 2000

– Implementation of the treaty extended to 31 December 2019

2. International convention on cluster munitions:• Cambodia not yet a signatory, but very active in clearance, survey and risk

education

3. Domestic Legal framework:• Law on the Prohibition of the Use of Anti-Personnel Mines (ratified on 28 April 1999)

• Law on the Control of Weapons, Explosives and Ammunitions (01 June 2005)

• Sub-Decree on the Management and Control of Import, Production, Sales, Trade,

Distribution and Use of all Types of Weapons and Ammunitions (30 April 1999)

• Sub-Decree on Socio-Economic Management of Mine Clearance (20 October 2004)

2. Policy and Risk Management to address the problems2.2 ERW Risk Management Policies and Strategies

• The Millennium Development Goals (UN and Cambodia-specific)– Goal 9: De-mining, UXO and victim assistance (Cambodia-specific)

• Rectangular Strategy

• National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) 2014-2018

• National Mine Action Strategy (NMAS) 2010 – 2019

Commitment from international partners

2. Policy and Risk Management to address the problems2.2 ERW Risk Management Policies and Strategies

• Decentralization approach: Operators do not select minefields for clearance

• Minefield selection through local authorities, PMAC/MAPU process

• Active engagement with Development Organization: NGOs and IOs

• Socio-economics and beneficiaries of demining: a very important factor in minefield selection and prioritization.

Prioritization and Planning Process

Downwards and Upwards Approach

2. Policy and Risk Management to address the problems2.2 ERW Risk Management Policies and Strategies

• Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports: fully integrate MRE within the educational curriculum for primary and secondary schools

• Ministry of Interior : Landmine/ERW issues is to become policy number 9 to deliver village and commune safety

• Local Police is to act as landmine/ERW network for quick response

• CMAA coordination and prioritization process

• Cambodian Red Cross has been working as volunteer network for mine risk education

• CMAC closely coordinates and cooperates with local and international partners in the fields of MRE, victim assistance and Clearance

• CMAC has been established CBMRR and CBURR and building national capability for commune, district and provincial levels for both local police and authorities

• CMAC has mandated to work with neighbour countries by the Royal Government through Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, as well as Ministry of Defense,

• Cambodia has well established policies, strategies and SOPs at national and operator levels.

Land release (IMAS 08.20, CMAA Chapter15 and CMACLand release concept) is

describes the process of applying all reasonable effort to identify, define and remove all presence and suspicion of mines/ERW through non-technical survey, technical survey and/or clearance

Land released by non-technical survey(IMAS 08.21 and CMAC BLS/NTS SOP 03) C1

Land released by mine clearance(IMAS 09.10 and CMAC SOP series 100 and others assets) C3

Land released by technical survey (IMAS 08.22 and CMAC TS SOP 09) C2

NPA Leads Survey Revisited and revised by CMAC

ERW Survey progress report 2014 by CMAC Demining Unit 5

Baseline Survey Land Release CHA-Cluster Re-Classified

• If we apply  NPA’s survey method on known remaining ERW problems in this Kingdom is 830,372,362 sqm X 14% = 116 Km²

• Based on this NPA Released Land Methodology: Cambodia is basically no need to worry about the Long Term Management of ERW and we can do ERW Clearance within one (01) year, all contaminated areas would be released.

• The question is that are we doing Survey and Land Release  base on the realities of contamination on the ground for supporting affected people and state ?• or by trying to do things in order to favour or just worry about the donors may not interested to provide their assistance if the remaining problems is so big ….. ??

ERW Survey progress report 2014 by CMAC Demining Unit 5

Baseline Survey Land Release CHA-Cluster Re-Classified

• Base Line Survey and Level One Survey: • Before baseline survey started  some people and demining organizations said that Cambodia exaggerated the size of the problems and wishes to resurvey to address the donor concerns. •A report undertook by Mr. Bob Kurley suggested that only around 10% of SL1 as remaining mines/ERW problems in Cambodia. 10% equivalent to around 400 km² . (in 2008‐2009)     • Now after around 70% survey completion by CMAC, MAG and the Halo Trust found that remaining problems properly over 2,000 km².  • CMAC suggested that we should do survey level 2 (technical survey)  on SL1 ( non technical survey) , unfortunately CMAC was failed to overcome this.  

*** These organizations are still around and the big questions we should ask, who is responsible for these misleading acts?

Risks by conditions (Clutter, aging and degradation) of UXOs and Devices

1. In 1999, An International Demining Organization in Cambodia declared that only around 200,000 mines in Cambodia

2. By 2002 the same demining organization announced that most of mines found in Cambodia has already degraded.

*** As to date over 1, 000,000 landmines were found and destroyed. At the same time, over 100 people still exploded by landmines each year.

4. Vision for ERW Risk Management for the Path Ahead 4.2 Achievements and Lessons Leant

Less density of ERW + Aging and Degradation = Less threats (residual threats)This is high risk vision and strategy

• Is this responsible or irresponsible manner? • These agenda undermine credibility of national capacities and institutions!• It is often said that affected countries want to exaggerate the scope of contamination? • Affected states make no benefit from this agenda, as it can scare away investors, visitors and ….

Vision and Strategy: is to drive the problems to address the strategy?

Affected Populations = The victims of war + the victims of ERW(Become victim twice)

Europe V Southeast Asia: ERW residual threats

4. Vision for ERW Risk Management for the Path Ahead 4.2 Achievements and Lessons Leant

1. In Germany in some cases to remove a bomb has to evacuate 10-20,000 people• Is it residual threats or risk?

2. In Japan, sometimes they cleared a bomb costs over US$500,000 and in Cambodia costs less US$100, do we want to compare? Of cause we want but we cannot afford it

3. USA dropped bombs in Cambodia, Loa or Vietnam each of which endured more than bombing dropped by USA in Germany + Japan in WWII

4. Partnership and Ownership remain important for us, strategic policies shall be driven by affected state.

5. Main challenge is financial factor which is shaking foundation of ownership.

Our Vision: CMAC is committed toRemoving landmine/ERW threats, Returning hope, and Building a prosperous future for affected community

Vision & Mission: Removing Landmine/ERW Threats

Path A

Ahead

How will We get there?

Our Mission: mine action operations will be focused on:

1. To conduct risk education and release of up to 1,126,320,000 m² of known landmine/ERW contaminated land by 2019,

2. To reduce the number of landmine and ERW casualties, support poverty, and contribute to economic development.

4. Vision for the Long Term Management of ERW for the Path Ahead

4.2 Future and Realizations in this Kingdom & Southeast Asia

Path A

Ahead

How will We get there?

1. To achieve this Objective, CMAC plans to start to increase its annual demining output from the current approximately 100 km² to around 186 km² in 2015, 215 km² in 2016 and 241 km² annually from 2017 to 2019.

2. Different land release methods, including non-technical survey, technical survey and full clearance will be applied to achieve the said planned targets.

3. Land release through NTS and TS will account for 73% of the total five-year outputs (822,480,000 m²), and the land release through clearance will account for 27% of the total outputs (303,840,000 m²).

1. This symposium is a good step going forwards, and internal consultations and discussions for formulating their own strategy

2. this symposium can generate kind of advise and then each state member can formulate their own strategy to meet their own needs (ownership and partnership)

3. Should collectively form a committee for Indochina state members (CLV) or ARMAC to lead this long term management of ERW for this affected region.

4. European v South Asia can be shared similarities and differences,

5. This symposium shall provide opportunity for policy makers from affected states to provide their perspectives, not just NGO.
