Landmine Action

Landmines are a global menace that can and are being eradicated. Landmine Action refers to the global efforts being made to eliminate the landmine problem through increasing support for the 1997 Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Treaty, the destruction of stockpiles, landmine clearance, educating communities at risk and assistance to landmine survivors.
