"The Public-Private Partnership we are forging will bring new energy, ideas, and resources to global mine action. It is an outstanding example of how governments and private citizens can work together to save lives and livelihoods from the devastating effects of landmines and other deadly remnants of war."

The Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (WRA)

The Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA) creates local, regional and international conditions conducive to peace, stability and prosperity by curbing the illicit proliferation of conventional weapons of war such as light automatic weapons and rocket propelled grenades, and removing and destroying others, such as persistent landmines and abandoned stocks of munitions, that remain and pose hazards after the cessation of armed conflict.
