"In 1999 the estimated number of victims of anti-personnel landmines was 18 000. By 2009 the number had fallen to approximately 4 000, 70% of whom were civilians and one third children. This therefore continues to be a serious situation to which the international community cannot remain indifferent, especially when certain states continue to use anti-personnel landmines, as in the cases of Burma and Libya. According to information from the international community, in spite of all the efforts made, there are still more than 90 countries affected by anti-personnel landmines, Afghanistan, Colombia, Pakistan, Burma, Cambodia and Laos being the worst affected. The process of demining must be continued. The action of our US allies has been fundamental to this process, whether through funding demining or supporting victim support programmes. Every effort must be made so that governments stop using anti-personnel landmines and accede to the Convention on the Prohibition of Anti-Personnel Mines."@en1
