lpv:translated text	"The problem of landmines is not only a problem for States. Long after peace has been concluded, and I hope that even in Angola that will one day be the case, there will still be fields that cannot be walked on, because they are full of mines and therefore put innocent people are at risk. In 1997, a treaty was concluded banning landmines. One hundred and forty-nine countries have already signed it. Many countries have ratified it, but 52 have not and they include some of the largest nations. One of the major problems is that not only regular armies lay the mines, but that terrorist and rebel movements also use them. That is why it is necessary that they should be urged to stop using landmines. It is difficult for an official body like ours to involve non-governmental players in the negotiations, but it is good that we as an official body should urge the countries not to stockpile landmines and that we should support the NGOs that are striving to get the terrorist organisations and rebel movements to forsake the use of landmines. I refer in this context to the appeal of Geneva, which we have heard proposed here this week in our own Parliament."@en1
