The problems
Imagine if, somewhere outside your front door, there is a powerful explosive weapon waiting patiently for you, or a member of your family, to disturb it. Because it’s hidden from view, avoiding it is a constant game of chance.
There could be one of them. There could be 100. You don’t know how many there are and neither does anyone else.
Every day millions of people live with this fear. And every day dozens of people die or suffer horrific injuries from abandoned weapons left behind after conflict.
Landmines, grenades, missiles and cluster bombs do not discriminate between soldiers and civilians, between adults and children.
