A resolution recognizing April 4, 2024, as the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action, and reaffirming the leadership of the United States in eliminating landmines and unexploded ordnance.

This resolution (SRES 609) designates April 4, 2024, as the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action. It recognizes the ongoing humanitarian threat posed by landmines and unexploded ordnance to civilians in over 60 countries, citing statistics like over 135,000 recorded casualties since 2001. The resolution reaffirms U.S. leadership in global mine clearance efforts, highlighting $4.6 billion in U.S. funding for demining since 1993 and calls for continued U.S. support to address mine contamination as a priority. It does not create new laws but symbolically supports international mine action goals and acknowledges the work of deminers and survivors.
