"The conflict between the Libyan rebels and the government forces offers yet more proof of the criminal nature of anti-personnel landmines. The worst thing is that once the fighting is over, these mines will, for many years, continue to endanger the civilian population and children in particular. Libya is one of the 37 countries that have not signed up to the 1997 Ottawa Convention. A total of 156 countries are signatories to this Convention, which prohibits the use, production, stockpiling and sale of anti-personnel landmines.
This report, which I fully support, calls in particular on the European Union to significantly increase the proportion of its funding available for victim assistance, but not at the expense of funding for mine clearance. There is also, of course, the need for the problem to be resolved structurally. We should pay particular attention to those countries that experience difficulties in resolving on their own the challenges posed by mine clearance. The main objective is to provide mine clearance in an ever-increasing number of regions, in order to promote economic development and improve the living conditions of civilians who have already suffered too much."@en1
