PANO – Urgent solutions to prevent and mitigate accidents which might be
caused by bombs, unexploded ordnance (UXO) left from wars will be further
implemented synchronously, according to the recent instruction by the Prime
Minister.

Under Instruction No.20/CT-TTg, relevant organizations will join hands in
carrying out following solutions. First, responsibility of the whole
political system must be heightened while the awareness of UXO dangers must
be raised among local people, especially teenagers and youths in localities
with high rate of UXO-related accidents in the past five years, especially
in the Central and Central Highlands regions.

Second, legal regulations and fines for gathering, purchasing, possessing,
sawing, cutting and using UXO should be popularized among people.

Third, it is necessary to check and revise legal documents, policy
mechanism, instructions related to the state management and dealing with
the above-mentioned illegal acts.

Fourth, ministries’, relevant organizations’ and localities’ responsibility
for managing, controlling and dealing with violations of individuals and
groups should be raised.

Fifth, proposals on coordination models, support for UXO-related victims
should be given together with priority for the improvement of
military-civilian medical stations in remote and UXO-contaminated areas.
