Mines, Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs)
Mines, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), and other unexploded hazards pose a serious and ongoing threat to civilians around the world, killing thousands every year and causing indiscriminate harm to others. Three in four child casualties in the world’s deadliest conflicts are caused by explosive hazards. They can remain undetonated in the ground for decades after hostilities have ceased, wreaking damage and hindering people from accessing their homes, limiting their movements, preventing the land from being utilised, and instilling fear in communities.
