On Tuesday, DSRSG/RC @UlrikaR_UN led a Mine Action Programme visit to the Tunisian Counter-IED Centre of Excellence in Bizerte to explore opportunities for specialized cooperation in Libya, including training in explosive ordnance disposal and countering improvised explosive devices.

DSRSG/RC highlighted the Centre’s potential to complement the existing expertise of Libyan counterparts and strengthen national capabilities to address explosive hazards, protect civilians from explosive remnants of war and reduce the risk of unplanned explosions, and how such cooperation will contribute to security and stability across the region and beyond.

The Centre’s leadership presented its mandate, facilities and training curricula. Established in 2015 and recently recognized by the United Nations Mine Action Service, the Centre supports national and regional capacity-building in counter-IED and explosive ordnance disposal, contributing to humanitarian mine action and civilian protection.

The Defence Attachés of Germany and Italy also joined the visit.
