Duizend Jaar Landmijnen


Tachtig procent van de slachtoffers van landmijnen is burger. De prijs van een landmijn kan drie dollar zijn. Het opsporen en onschadelijk maken van een landmijn kan 1000 dollar kosten. De Verenigde Staten weigert de UN Inhumane Weapons Convention te tekenen. Hoogleraar Mensenrechten Rebecca Wallace schrijft in haar boek 'International Law': 'International efforts have concentrated on tackling the devastating effects of landmines. It is estimated that 25.000 people are maimed or killed by a landmine each year; most are civilian women and children working and playing in fields. Some 100 million mines lie buried or hidden in over 62 countries and remain virtually undetectable because they contain no metal. The United Nations has estimated that present landmine areas would take 1000 years to clear, which does not take into account areas currently being mined.'
