Arms Control, Disarmament & Demining Advocacy Team

Advancing arms control treaties and demining operations that protect civilians from explosive remnants of war.

Mission Statement

The Arms Control, Disarmament & Demining Advocacy Team advances international arms control frameworks and conducts demining operations that protect civilian populations from the long-term harm of explosive remnants of war. The unit combines treaty advocacy, mine action coordination, and explosive ordnance disposal to reduce the landmine and UXO burden in post-conflict communities — enabling safe return of displaced populations and restoration of agricultural land.
