The presence of mines in a country receiving humanitarian aid, or with peacekeepers on their soil, introduces immense difficulties into the attempt to bring relief to a crisis-stricken state. In Angola the UN Military Observers are not able to monitor ceasefire agreements because their ability to travel is restricted by the threat of undiscovered mines. In many affected countries humanitarian agencies have been unable to return refugees to their homes or to begin the process of rebuilding local infrastructure.
