Description
Originally published in 1985 this book draws attention to the terrible unexploded remnants of mines and other high-explosive munitions that remain hidden in former theatres of war and which claim so many innocent victims - often children - for so many years. The contributors to the book recommend a number of technical, legal and policy approaches to mitigating this horrendous and inevitable post-war legacy. Texts of the contemporaneous treaties most relevant are also provided for the convenience of the reader. The editor, Arthur H. Westing, an international authority on military impact on the environment organized and edited this series of papers, which was prepared by world experts on the topic.
