The use of animals for mine clearance is being legalized.
According to Modern.az, this issue is reflected in the amendment proposed to the Law “On the Animal World”, which was discussed at today's plenary session of the Milli Majlis.
According to the proposed new draft law, the types of use of the animal world are being expanded. The draft law stipulates the use of animals in mine clearance activities for the purpose of detecting explosive ordnance, in accordance with standard operating procedures, as a separate type of use in legislation.
According to the amendment, the use of the animal world will be carried out in compliance with the requirements of not only existing legislation but also relevant normative legal acts. This further clarifies the legal basis for the use of animals in mine clearance.
The draft law was adopted in its first reading.
