"−
In some countries the existence of mines has become a structural issue that continues to claim numerous victims, mainly civilians. Therefore the battle against mines should be a mandatory element of national strategies in countries where in particular anti-personnel landmines (APL) and/or stockpiles of such ordnance are notoriously present. Even though advances have been made in mine detection technology and techniques, rapid, reliable, cost-effective solutions remain elusive. Therefore we believe that it is necessary to promote the universalisation and implementation of the Mine Ban Treaty and the Convention on Cluster Munitions, urging all countries that have yet to accede to do so. We believe that there should be greater involvement of the affected countries, and we remind those countries of their responsibilities. We stress the need to find synergy between the various dimensions of mine action, with special regard to humanitarian and development aspects. Finally, we believe that funding is necessary for research into detection and survey techniques and technologies, in order to guarantee greater assistance to victims, the aim being a world finally free of the APL threat to life, livelihood and economic development."@en1
