The NCDR is chaired by HRH Prince Mired and directs the management and regulatory activities, and coordinate mine action and monitoring the implementation of strategies and best practices.
History and extent of contamination
have landmines, unexploded ordnance and explosive remnants of war suffering from Jordan in the following several periods of the conflict from which the partition of Palestine and the creation of Israel in 1948. mines, the Jordanian government and its opponents first land planted during the conflict immediately following Israel’s independence, and later following the 1967-1969 Arab-Israeli conflict, again during the subsequent period of civil war in 1970 and finally as a defensive measure during 1975 on Syria. After its last mine introduced in 1974, Jordan has since emerged as a regional leader in mine actions in the Middle East and has proudly been involved in spreading both the spirit and letter of the global campaign landmines.
The maps show the distribution of landmines largely concentrated along the northern border with Syria, the western border with Israel, and in the Jordan Valley. Although these contaminated areas are now controlled by the Jordanian army and are essentially locked by the public, their presence still has a significant impact on the social, economic and environmental communities.
began after the Corps of Royal Engineers, Jordan’s main demining entity, when humanitarian demining in 1993 there were approximately 60 million square feet (23 square miles) of suspected hazardous areas contaminated with approximately 304,653 mines. Between 1993 and 2005, over 100,000 mines and unexploded ordnance from 10,000 units were removed and destroyed, resulting in the reduction of over 25 million square feet (9 square 6 miles). The 35 million square meters of remaining (13 square 5 miles) of Shas are believed to influence the lives of as many as 500,000 people, roughly 8 percent of the total population of Jordan. Jordan closed the destruction of their stockpiles by April 2003, one month before the expiry of all by the Convention.
Landmines, unexploded ordnance and explosive remnants of war were to access some of the countries responsible for valuable farmland, as well as to greatly inhibit the development of economic infrastructure in the form of urgent and irrigation projects hydropower, housing and cultural heritage tourism sites.
Penalties under the new law

There are also penalties for anyone abetting any of these prohibited acts. Exceptions to these rules to be approved government parties actively for the eradication of landmines are the best known members of the Jordanian army, which are used in mines, explosive ordnance disposal training involved, provided exercises.
Those found guilty, violated the new law face fines stiff prison and jail. By the way, providing authorities with information on illegal activities can obtain legal protection for its support.
Finally, the new law, the National Committee for Demining and Rehabilitation of the graphite-action coordination and supervisory authority of the country. The NCDR is now officially responsible for working with the armed forces and external agencies to ensure successful collaboration. In 2008, prohibition of landmines is also the NCDR the authority to request international organizations to information and funding support, equipment and training.
The future
The Royal Engineers have completed and demining in the Jordan Valley have been leading efforts of the Norwegian People’s Aid in Wadi Araba and Aqaba is also completed. The United Effort final clearance is expected soon to begin along the northern border.
Although the Kingdom of Jordan has made remarkable progress in the fight against the situation inside the landmine and along its borders has to be counted, that his original deadline for mine clearance in May 2009, as amended by the Ottawa Convention requires, perhaps be extended to 2011.
