Human rights organizations have cautioned that the presence of unexploded ordnance (UXO) from the recent armed conflict in Georgia poses a security risk to area residents. The Government of the Russian Federation (GoRF) reports that de-mining teams have cleared 738 UXOs in South Ossetia, Georgia, to date. In addition, the non-governmental organization (NGO) Halo Trust has dispatched seven teams to survey the approximate number and locations of unexploded munitions to prepare for future de-mining operations.
