The indiscriminate nature of mine laying in many countries has ensured
that killing and disruption continue long after hostilities have ceased.
The International Committee of the Red Cross estimates that 800 people
per month are killed by landmines and 1,000 to 1,500 are injured.
Furthermore, the injuries sustained are frequently horrific, involving
the loss of limbs, genitalia, and/or eye-sight. The main casualties are
civilians.
