Between November 12 and 15, the Director General of the Inter-American Defense Board, Brigadier Fl\u00e1vio Luiz de Oliveira Pinto, conducted a technical orientation visit to the Inter-American Monitors Group (GMI-CO) and the Inter-American Technical Advisory Group (GATI) in Bogot\u00e1, Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The working visit was aimed, among other things, at issuing IADB guidelines on the implementation of activities to support humanitarian demining, monitoring the work carried out by the teams of inter-American advisors and verifying the possibility of expanding the tasks currently carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Colombia, the IADB has been operating since 2006 with the Inter-American Monitors Group and, since 2015, with the Inter-American Technical Advisors Group. The IADB's contribution is part of the effort developed by various institutions working for humanitarian demining in Colombia, led by the AICMA\/OAS and the Colombian Armed Forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The country currently has approximately 8,700 military personnel and civilians qualified to act against mines. The results achieved represent a strong incentive for those dedicated to this difficult but essential humanitarian activity: between 2006 and 2023, the annual number of victims caused by landmines, including deaths and injuries, fell from 1,224 to 95, while Colombia left second place in the ranking of countries with the most landmines in the world, moving to ninth place. During this period, more than 30,000 mines were neutralized and the surface area freed from this terrible scourge reached the mark of more than 14 million square meters (equivalent to 1,700 football fields). The proportion of Colombian municipalities free of mines practically doubled, reaching 83% of the total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that the presence of GMI-CO, with consolidated doctrine and technique, gives great credibility to humanitarian demining programs, contributing to the international recognition of the activities carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, with the activation of GATI in 2016, the humanitarian training support system in the country received a significant increase in its technical capacity in the training of inter-American monitors and, also, in its advisory capacity in the formation of courses in the area, multiplying the knowledge acquired in recent decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IADB has supported humanitarian demining in Latin America since 1993, with military personnel from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Trinidad-Tobago, Venezuela and Uruguay. This support, always in conjunction with OAS programs, began with the Mission for Assistance in Demining in Central America, which operated from 1993 to 2010 in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, in addition to providing technical advice to Suriname. From 2002 to 2013, the South American Mission for Assistance in Demining operated in Ecuador and Peru.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
