Monitoring exports of ordnance

In the interests of providing feedback on ERW found in current operational theatres the Australian Delegation sought advice on the experiences of its specialist ammunition technical and explosive ordnance disposal officers arising from their recent operational tours in Iraq.

Assistance is also being provided to the Professional Ethics Office, Crime Scene Office and Public Information Office of the national police and the immigration services, as well as in the areas of close protection, counter terrorism and explosive ordnance disposal.

Immediate expansion of survey, clearance and mine risk education capacities is vital to allow the local population to resume their economic activities, to facilitate the sustainable return of internally displaced persons and refugees and to enable humanitarian aid agencies to operate without the threat of mines and explosive remnants of war.

His own country was one of those most seriously affected by unexploded ordnance.

As indicated in the report of the Working Group (see A C.5 58 37, paras. 39 58), a review of the special cases was undertaken and new standard categories subcategories were created, including explosive ordnance disposal and demining equipment and riot control equipment, which were added to the list of major equipment (see ibid., annex I.C.2).
