CMU Resolution No. 738 defines the legal status and functional responsibilities of the “Humanitarian Demining Centre” budgetary institution as the key executor of state policy in the sphere of mine action. The document establishes the Centre’s authority regarding the planning, coordination, and quality control of demining operations, in particular on agricultural lands. The resolution also establishes mechanisms for financing the Centre’s activities and introduces amendments to regulatory acts regarding the remuneration of its employees.
The structure of the act consists of two main parts: the direct definition of the functions of the “Humanitarian Demining Centre” and a block of amendments to previous government resolutions. The main provisions focus on expanding the Centre’s powers, including the certification of operators, the management of geoinformation systems, and interaction with international donors. Compared to previous versions, the changes relate to the integration of the Centre into the system of efficient use of state funds and the determination of sources for financing its activities.
Most important provisions for practical use:
1. **Functions of the Centre:** The institution acts as the contracting authority for demining works, exercises quality control according to DSTU 8820 standards, and conducts certification of mine action operators.
2. **Information Support:** The Centre is the administrator of electronic systems and geospatial platforms containing data on contaminated territories and the progress of demining.
3. **Financing:** Expenses for the performance of the Centre’s tasks, including remuneration, are permitted to be covered by funds from international technical assistance and other sources not prohibited by legislation.
4. **Reporting:** The Centre is required to report quarterly to the National Mine Action Authority and provide proposals for process optimization.
