"− I welcomed this document, because most armed forces have ceased using anti-personnel landmines (APL), but various armed non-state actors continue to use them, along with victim-activated improvised explosive devices (IED). More than 90 countries are still affected to some degree by APL and other explosive remnants of war (ERW), but the most seriously afflicted are Afghanistan, Colombia, Pakistan, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos. The European Parliament welcomes the fact that 156 countries have now signed and ratified the Mine Ban Treaty, including 25 EU Member States, but regrets that some 37 countries have yet to sign the Treaty, and therefore urges all non-party states to accede to the Mine Ban Treaty and the Convention on Cluster Munitions. I agree that the international community should focus its attention on those countries least able to help themselves and on mine clearance and assistance for victims, and that the aim should be to move more rapidly to a situation where countries can be declared free of mine threat to life, and economic development."@en1
