The Red Cross (1996) estimated that mines and other unexploded ordnance are killing between 500 and 800 people and maiming 2000 others per month, mainly innocent civilians who had little or no part in the conflicts for which the mines were laid.
Land mines are controversial because they remain dangerous after the conflict in which they were deployed, killing and injuring civilians and rendering land impassable and unusable for decades. The International Campaign to Ban Landmines has sought to prohibit their use, culminating in the 1997 Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction, known informally as the Ottawa Treaty. The UN estimates that with current technology, it will take nearly 1,100 years to clear all the mines in the world.
