LANDMINES
Julia’s extensive debate research fostered an abiding interest in international policy and in the well-being of those left behind by their economic and political systems. In that spirit, we are pleased to take the Foundation into the international arena with sponsorship of projects through outstanding organizations, to eradicate landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) and to assist survivors of landmine accidents, in countries emerging from conflict. We appreciate the assistance of the U.S. Department of State in these efforts.
During 2013, HALO marked a quarter century of pioneering work clearing mines with His Royal Highness Prince Harry
