Weapon contamination manual: Reducing the impact of explosive remnants of war and landmines through field activities

This manual has been written to act as the ICRC’s Institutional reference on mine action, as a basis for ICRC mine action training and to provide guidance for those working in delegations where weapon-contamination is an issue. The manual consists of three books and it outlines a broad and flexible approach which includes rapid response, multisectoral approach (the application of assistance and protection to reduce impact) and cooperation/capacity building.

Book II provides an overview of the ICRC’s role in different weapon contamination contexts, and guidance on how to assess the needs and develop appropriate strategies and objectives.
