Short description (English)

The mine action strategy of the Swiss Confederation for the period 2012-2015 defines the framework for political and operational activities with regard to anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions and other explosives remnants of war (ERW).

It emphasizes that the policies and operational activities within the framework of this strategy will be concretised, monitored and evaluated on a regular basis and the relevant working instruments will be developed.
