In other words, UXO victims could enjoy the rights and social benefits of the people with disabilities.
Additionally, the State will assist people in the UXO-affected areas in moving to other places.
The finance for the implementation of these policies sources from the State Budget (including Official Development Assistance (ODA) and preferential loans), from enterprises, and other legal capital sources.
