Performance Commentary
Mozambique completed its obligations under Article 4 of the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) in November 2016 by clearing the last known areas of cluster munition remnant (CMR) contamination, five years in advance of its treaty deadline.
Recommendations for Action
- Mozambique should officially declare completion of clearance of CMR and compliance with CCM Article 4 at the Seventh Meeting of States Parties in September 2017.
- Mozambique should ensure that national capacity exists to address residual contamination from mines, CMR, and other explosive remnants of war (ERW).
- Mozambique should ensure that the national mine action database is transferred to an appropriate government ministry and that resources are allocated to maintain the database.
