Landmine Campaign

The Landmine Campaign is an international effort to eliminate the use of landmines, which are explosive devices buried underground that can harm civilians long after conflicts end. These landmines are dangerous because they can cause injury or death to innocent people, especially farmers, children, and refugees. The campaign promotes banning the use, production, and stockpiling of landmines, and encourages demining—removing the mines from affected areas. Its goal is to reduce suffering, protect human rights, and help communities recover safely after conflict. This movement is often supported by organizations like the Mine Ban Treaty and the International Campaign to Ban Landmines.
