Key Developments
Oman still plans to complete release of all areas ahead of its Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC) Article 5 deadline of 1 February 2025. Oman reported having cleared 158,927m2 of anti-personnel (AP) mined area in 2022 but it is not known whether any AP mines were found in the process.
Recommendations for Action
- Oman should ensure it submits and makes publicly available its Article 7 reports covering 2021 and 2022.
- Oman should ensure it conducts land release operations according to international standards, applying non-technical survey (NTS) and technical survey (TS) to confirm contamination prior to clearance whenever possible.
- Oman should integrate a gender and diversity plan in its mine action programme.
