The legacy of the conflict persists in unexploded bombs and landmines that cause 1,000 deaths a year — and the aid workers risking their lives to clear them
‘#Washington has donated more than $250 million to #UXO #clearance in #Vietnam — a fraction of the estimated $100 billion the nation spent on its military campaign.’
It doesn’t mention an innovation of the time - landmines that were mainly plastic - designed to prevent detection.

Nearly 250 people, including 60 children, have been killed by #landmines and other war-related explosives in #Syria. Close to 400 people have been injured.
These are the casualty figures from just the last few months – since December, when the Assad regime was overthrown.

It's good to see Norway pushing back against the insane decision of its neighbour Finland to leave the Ottawa Convention (the anti-landmine treaty). It's the duty of all sensible people and countries to stand up for hard won gains like the Ottawa Convention, or indeed the International Criminal Court which Hungary is flouting.

Decisions, decisions. Certainly more decisions to come on UK and European defence.
Landmines are a starter issue. Defensive-only and cheap to build, but so nasty that most decent countries officially banned anti-personnel mines.
Thinking now about the young people who'll either volunteer or be conscripted to serve as our deterrent/defence, and the embarrassing gap while the US withdraws, I'd like them to have enough tools for the job.

Norway criticises Finland’s move to quit a land mine treaty.
Norway will not withdraw from the international Ottawa convention banning anti-personnel mines like Finland did.
“If we start weakening our commitment, it makes it easier for warring factions around the world to use these weapons again, because it reduces the stigma,” Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said Wednesday.

Finland becomes the latest country in Eastern Europe (following Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) to exit the Ottawa Convention banning antipersonnel landmines. Poland has previously announced they will mine their border with Russia and Belarus.
