MACIAS MONTOYA, José Aldemar e CORCIONE NIETO, María Antonieta. Humanitarian demining in Colombia: from the perspective of deminers. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.29, pp.161-179. Epub 28-Ago-2020. ISSN 1900-6586. https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.530.
This research aims to feature the experience, and best practices involved in the humanitarian demining (DH) carried out in Colombia by the members of the National Army by scrutinizing the interviews of five deminers belonging to this institution. According to the interviewees, DH is effective when it privileges work with local authorities and the communities that inhabit and transit the affected territories. DH is carried out in Colombia, linked to disaster risk management, following international conventions and national regulations. Besides presenting the importance of deminers' technical knowledge, as well as the social value of their actions, this article exposes the difficulties they must overcome to fulfill these missions successfully.
