The day was declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005 and has been observed since 2006.
The main aim is to spread awareness about the dangers of landmines and to support their removal to protect people.
Mine action includes activities like detecting and removing landmines, helping victims, and making land safe for use.
Landmines, UXO (Unexploded Ordnance), and IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) are dangerous and can harm or kill civilians even after wars end.
The theme of the year 2026 is “Invest in Peace; Invest in Mine Action”.
