One Mine One Life

We decided to continue the great work of those, who devoted themselves to clear the world from landmines. More than 1/4 of the world’s countries and territories are contaminated with landmines. 2020 saw high numbers of recorded casualties caused by landmines and ERW. At least 7,073 people were killed or injured in 54 countries and areas, with mines including improvised types, responsible for the majority of all casualties. Landmine does not distinguish between a soldier’s foot and a child’s foot. Paul Jefferson, one of the earliest humanitarian deminers said “a landmine is the perfect soldier: Ever courageous, never sleeps, never misses”. It is estimated that there are 110 million land mines in the ground right now. An equal amount is in stockpiles waiting to be planted or destroyed. It's time for our young generation to make mine free world. It's time for us. For you and me. If landmines don't kill, they deprive human beings of the most important, inalienable, and indivisible rights that each of us is entitled to and results from our dignity. Landmines are inhumane and indiscriminate weapons that kill in war and peacetime.
