Geneva, Bogotá – Colombia, one of 30 States Parties to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention that has declared having a significant number of mine survivors (as of 2021, over 11,000) is carrying out a historic National Stakeholder Dialogue with 14 associations that represent victims of anti-personnel mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO), plus more than a dozen national institutions and non-governmental and international organizations, including those that support or are in a position to support Colombia in its victim assistance efforts.
The 22-24 February Dialogue led by the Office of the High Commissioner for Peace (OACP), is financially supported by a Decision of the European Union Council, and has the technical backing of the Secretariat of the treaty which bans the use, production, storage and transfer of antipersonnel mines.
