International Day Raises Awareness About Landmine Dangers Since 2006
Share:
An international day dedicated to raising awareness about landmine dangers has been observed since 2006. The initiative traces its origins to October 1997, when 164 countries ratified a comprehensive convention prohibiting the use, stockpiling, production, and sale of anti-personnel landmines. The annual observance serves to highlight the ongoing global threat posed by these explosive devices and promote efforts to eliminate them worldwide.
