Key Developments
Chad requested an extension to its Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) Article 4 deadline in May 2022 expecting “a high probability” of finding cluster munition remnants (CMR) in its northern Tibesti province. The four-year European Union PRODECO project, which was due to end in 2021, received a no-cost extension and finally concluded in 2022 with no commitment by international donors to provide additional funding ending all survey and clearance operations by international operators. The national demining authority did not report any nationally funded survey or clearance of cluster munitions, leaving its future compliance with the CCM in serious doubt. Chad last submitted an Article 7 report in 2020, which is itself a violation of the CCM.
Recommendation for Action
- Chad submit its Article 7 transparency reports annually in accordance with its international obligations.
- Chad should develop a resource mobilisation strategy for mine action in general and completion of its CCM Article 4 obligations in particular.
- Chad should prepare, and provide details of, national capacity available for tackling CMR hazardous areas identified after declaring completion.
