🛑 April 4: International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action
Aspirants, "Important Days" are a recurring theme in General Awareness. For SSC CGL, Bank PO, and Regulatory exams, you need to look beyond the date and focus on the Organization and Associated Treaties.
🚀 Key Exam Pointers:
1️⃣ Who coordinates this? The United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), established in 1997.
2️⃣ The Legal Backbone: The Ottawa Treaty (1997) is the landmark international agreement that bans the use, stockpiling, production, and transfer of anti-personnel mines.
3️⃣ Beyond "Removal": Mine Action also includes Victim Assistance and Risk Education—crucial points for descriptive essays on "Global Security."
Static GK Fact: Did you know? Over 160 countries are currently party to the Ottawa Treaty, making the use of landmines a global taboo.
