Key Developments
In April 2022, Chile submitted an Article 4 deadline extension request (and a revised request in May), detailing plans for clearance of the remaining areas. There was no land release in 2022 whatsoever as national resources were used to address the COVID-19 pandemic. A new management structure is now in place for the implementation of Chile’s clearance obligations under the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM). If no land release takes place in 2023, compliance with its CCM Article 4 obligations will be in serious doubt.
Recommendations for Action
- Chile should ensure sufficient resources are in place to complete clearance by the extended Article 4 deadline of 1 June 2026.
- Chile should elaborate a gender and diversity policy and implementation plan for its programme of clearance of cluster munition remnants (CMR) and other explosive remnants of war (ERW).
