Global push to ban land mines gains ground
Mines bury in 68 war torn nations with over 100 million unexploded devices. Each year about 26,000 explode killing or maiming civilians and soldiers alike. Key figures include Sen. Patrick Leahy and the International Campaign to Ban Land Mines. Reports note partial progress: moratoriums and new protocols, but no full ban due to smart mine tech and wartime safeguards, with Korea cited as a special concern.
