The incident of Thai soldiers stepping on a landmine at the Ubon Ratchathani border has caused pain and deep wounds, sparking dissatisfaction with the chronic handling of border problems and questions about whether the laying of new mines by Cambodia is a violation of the "Ottawa Convention" to which both countries are parties.
Anti-personnel mines (APLs) have been called a “serious threat” that has indiscriminately affected civilians for decades , says Harvard University’s All Mine: The United States and the Ottawa Treaty. Although their use dates back to the American Civil War and has been widely used in world wars, the damage they cause, particularly to innocent civilians, has led to an international movement to ban them. By the mid-1990s, about 26,000 people were killed by unexplained landmines each year. ฝากขั้นต่ำ50บาท
