Worldwide Emerging Environmental Issues Affecting the U.S. Military. May 2006

Abstract

Protocol V on Explosive Remnants of War, part of the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW), will enter into force on 12 November 2006. The Protocol stipulates that parties to armed conflicts must mark, clear, and destroy all explosive remnants of war on the territory, including internal waters, under their control; offer assistance in areas not under their control; and share information with organizations involved in clearance activities. It applies to ordnance that existed even prior to the entry into force of this Protocol (Art. 2, Par. 5).
