Conflict Resolution
|
Landmines are one legacy of conflict. They continue to kill and maim people long after war or active conflict. Many nations have agreed to completely and permanently discontinue the use and production of anti-personnel landmines, destroy stockpiles within four years, and clear mines within their own territory by 2009. Eradication of existing landmines in many former war-torn continues to be a challenge.
