"Mr President, mines are a real problem in many parts of the world. Concern about anti–personnel landmines (APL), however, is greatest in countries such as Afghanistan, Colombia, Pakistan, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos.
Although the prevention of the problems is first and foremost the responsibility of the states that have to endure them, the dangers posed by the mines must be averted through international cooperation prior to, during and after a conflict. The victim of a mine is not just the person who has stepped onto one, but also that person’s whole family and the local community.
All countries are under an international obligation to destroy stockpiles of APL, and the European Union needs to remind these countries of their obligations when it holds talks with them. The loss of human life, among the civilian population in particular, gives great cause for concern, and Europe must genuinely stand united on this. In addition, the inhabitants of areas that are suffering from these problems of mines, especially children, must be helped to live safely, so that they are aware of the dangers of mines."@en1
