Safe Ground Campaign | UN Global Advocate Daniel Craig

Описание: A video message from Mr. Daniel Craig, UN Global Advocate for the Elimination of Mines and Explosive Hazards, on the Safe Ground Campaign.

In 2019, the Secretary-General of the United Nations launched the five-year Safe Ground campaign to turn minefields into playing fields.

Safe Ground is a global advocacy and fundraising campaign supported by an informal, voluntary Group of Champions, comprised of Member States of the United Nations, United Nations entities, civil society organizations, sports federations, private sector companies, and individual athletes.

The campaign tackles two essential and linked challenges: clearing explosive hazards to make the ground safe for people to return and rebuild their communities without fear of injury or death; and raising awareness and mobilizing resources to support those who have acquired a disability because of explosive hazards.

Since its launch, Safe Ground projects have started in Afghanistan, Cambodia, Cyprus, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Liberia, the State of Palestine, Somalia, and Viet Nam.

Established in 1997, the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) leads, coordinates and implements activities to mitigate the threat posed by mines, explosive remnants of war and improvised explosive devices.
