Cambodian Mine Action Sector Briefing Paper Series | Planning and Prioritization Process
Humanitarian mine clearance operations in Cambodia started in 1992 with the support of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) to clear transportation routes to enable the repatriation of hundreds of thousands of Cambodian refugees living in camps in Thailand back to Cambodia. When clearance of the routes was completed, clearance operations shifted to clear land to support the housing of the refugees.
