The IMAS Review Board has released a new Technical Note for Mine Action (TNMA) called Practical guidelines on the management of human remains in mine action.
MAS 07.50, Management of human remains in mine action, specifies the role and responsibilities of the national mine action authority, or the organization acting on its behalf, and the mine action organizations.
This TNMA provides further guidance and references to support the development of appropriate procedures for the management of human remains in mine action in accordance with IMAS 07.50.
Where relevant, national mine action authorities (NMAA) and mine action organizations are encouraged to incorporate the recommendations and best practices included in this TNMA into their standards and procedures.
It replaces the TNMA 10.10/01 Guidelines on the management of human remains located during mine action operations.
