Description
Informal portrait of Burt Kearney, New Zealand Army Explosive Ordnance Division leaning against a ute which is stacked with explosives about to be unloaded into container at Hell's Point. He is a member of the Australian led International Peace Monitoring Team (IPMT), whose main tasks are supervision of the surrender of weapons, regular inspection of the stored weapons, confidence-building within affected Solomon Islands communities, and reporting to the Peace Monitoring Council. The IPMT was deployed as a neutral international presence in support of the Townsville Peace Agreement signed in October 2000 and included police from Tonga, Cook Islands and Vanuatu, in addition to Australian and New Zealand personnel. They were an unarmed and neutral organisation which had up to 50 personnel at five team sites (three on Guadalcanal and two on Malaita) and a Headquarters based at Henderson on the outskirts of Honiara. The team finished their deployment on 25 June 2002.
