Angola

Angola is contaminated with anti-personnel mines and ERW, but no longer has known or suspected cluster munition contamination

Cluster Munition Remnants

 Anti-Personnel Mines

    Not Applicable

In 2023 and Mine Action Review removed signatory State Angola from the list of CMR-affected States in 2024 as the problem is almost certainly only one of a residual threat of a small number of unexploded submunitions and there are no known or suspected cluster munition-contaminated areas.

Recommendations for Action

  • Angola should ratify the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) as a matter of priority.
  • Angola should consider declaring completion of clearance of cluster munition remnants (CMR) as findings suggest that any remaining contamination is only residual.
  • Angola should ensure that sustainable national capacity exists to deal with any residual unexploded submunitions that may be encountered in the future.
