| PCC Subgroup on Humanitarian Mine ActionNational Security Policy Directive 1 (NSPD 1), dated February 14, 2001, replaced the previous Interagency Working Group (IWG) format with geographical and functional Policy Coordination Committees (PCC). The former Humanitarian Demining IWG is now the PCC Subgroup on Humanitarian Mine Action. Chaired by the NSC, it functions as a policy vetting and review body within a larger NSC PCC entitled Democracy, Human Rights, and International Operations. The PCC Subgroup on Humanitarian Mine Action will serve as the Executive policy-making body for USG humanitarian mine action programs, and will be the forum for discussion and consideration of policy-related proposals, issues, and recommendations. The PCC Subgroup consists of representatives from the National Security Council (Chair), the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Central Intelligence Agency. |
