Legacy of Landmines & Unexploded Ordinances – Photo tells the Story, by Ambassador mo
Posted on at
Children that had not been born when the war ended may end up being the greatest victims of thousands, perhaps millions of land mines planted during the conflict and a variety of unexploded ordinances. This legacy haunts countries on all continents from Lebanon to Columbia. Bosnia & Herzegovina (as well as much of the territories of the former Yugoslavia) is a particularly vulnerable, or more accurately the country’s children, and of all ethnic backgrounds. There is a landmine ban treaty supported by the United Nations and most states with notable exceptions as the United States. Best policy is to never deploy the landmines and not to wage the conflict. That perhaps being for now unlikely, it is critical to enforce international justice and legality with respect to those who may be employing weapons that particularly may target children, unintentionally or not, and for generations not yet born.
