2019-Extension-Request-Cambodia KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA Nation Religion King The Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction Request for an extension of the deadline for completing the destruction of anti-personnel mines in mined areas in accordance with Article 5, paragraph 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The Kingdom of Cambodia signed the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC) on 3 December 1997 and ratified it on 28 July 1999, becoming a State Party on 1 January 2000. Due to the magnitude and nature of the AP mine problem in the country, Cambodia needed to extend its AP mine clearance deadline, with the APMBC setting a new deadline for 1 January 2020. The period of the first extension request is from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2019. For this document, figures are from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2018 (as retrieved on 31 January 2019) unless otherwise specified. Overview of the achievements since the first extension request was granted Cambodia exceeded the targets outlined in the first extension request, releasing 577,171,932 square meters of AP mine affected land (target: 470,048,519 square meters or 123 per cent). 946 villages can be declared as known AP mine-free. The table below shows the annual clearance achievements of the entire sector and the percentages achieved against the annual target. Table.

This included moving away from clearance towards a toolbox approach, non-technical survey, technical survey and clearance. Other factors were the improved personnel skills, improvements in planning and prioritisation, the use of innovative technology, online data entry/reporting, integration of drones into non-technical and technical survey, integration of mechanical and animal detection systems into operations as well as improved access to contaminated areas with the construction of better roads. ACHIEVEMENTS SINCE THE EXTENSION REQUEST WAS GRANTED (2010-2018) Baseline survey The baseline survey (BLS) project led to the reduction of the known AP mine affected land area, from 1,377,172,548 square meters to 890,437,236 square meters as seen in the following table. The information replaced the level one survey (L1S) data and superseded all previous contamination information. 2 Table.

To date, 23 districts have been surveyed and it is expected that the remaining 50 will be surveyed by 2020. Cambodia has updated the Convention with the new information. Land release Cambodia released 577,171,932 square metres of AP mine affected land between 2010 and 2018. Operations removed and destroyed 101,424 anti-personnel mines, 1,560 anti-tank mines and 73,231 items of explosive remnants of war. Achievements per year are seen in the following table. Achievements are further broken down by land release methods (non-technical survey, technical survey and clearance) as defined under Cambodian Mine Action Standards (CMAS) 15 on land release (approved October 2014). CMAS 15 provides guidance on the overall land release process and supersedes the 2006 Area Reduction Policy. Table.

CMAA is mandated to regulate, monitor and coordinate the mine action sector in Cambodia. 3 Methods and standards of controlling and assuring quality CMAA regulates and monitors all mine action operations in Cambodia. This includes licensing of mine action organisations as well as monitoring and reporting on their performance against the national standards and guidelines. Quality management provides the framework for the implementation of a monitoring system as part of the mine action process in Cambodia. Monitoring activities consists of quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC). The creation of CMAA quality management teams (QMT) in 2008 contributed to increased quality. QMT monitor demining activities to ensure that operations comply with demining operator standard operating procedures and CMAS. QMT also check land before it is handed over to the community and conducts QA/QC activities throughout the year. Information management CMAA manages the national mine action database, the main repository of information of the Cambodian mine action sector. CMAA improved and diversified the technology it uses to generate various datasets, allowing more information to be shared and thereby supporting strategic planning and prioritisation of all activities in the mine action sector. Risk education Mine risk education (MRE) sessions were delivered to 1,500,751 men, 1,320,084 women, 1,166,974 boys and 1,050,563 girls 2 across the country. The main aim of MRE continues to be reducing high risk behaviour by people living or working in areas affected by mines and other explosive remnants of war. MRE programmes continue to target very high-risk areas, children, mobile adult populations and poor segments of the population to maximize use of resources. The Royal Government of Cambodia contributed $750,000 annually since 2013 to mine risk education. The funds were used for mine risk education activities delivered by the Cambodian Red Cross, Cambodian National Police, Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC), National Centre for Peacekeeping Forces, Mines and ERW Clearance (NPMEC) and Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MoEYS). Casualty reduction Casualty numbers are decreasing. The Cambodia mine/ERW Victim Information System (CMVIS) recorded 257 AP mine casualties during the period. Accidents are mainly caused by handling mines, as a bystander, while farming and collecting wood. Socio-economic issues -economic development. The most commonly reported blockages are access to agricultural land, pasture land, forests and water resources. 2 These numbers are indicative as a certain individual may have attended more than one MRE session. 4 Planning and prioritisation mechanism improvement Planning and prioritisation guidelines used by the Provincial Mine Action Committee (PMAC) and the Mine Action Planning Unit (MAPU) were improved in 2017, allowing clearance resources to be better targeted (from commune to village level).
