THE RESIGNIFICATION OF MINE ACTION AS A WAY TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The objective of this paper is to analyze in which ways the actions made towards the prevention and resolution of problems caused by landmines, cluster munitions and other explosive remnants of war are important to achieve a sustainable development. The methodology used in this article will be the critical-deductive approach, relying itself upon reading and analyzing literature and international legal framework on the matter, in order to demonstrate the crucial nature of post bellum mine action for effective economic, social and environmental development, as well as an effective assurance of the human rights of communities in reconstruction in an after-conflict context.
