According to spokespeople from the international campaign to ban landmines, land mine use has been decreasing rapidly, with more and more countries signing the mine-ban treaty. Except in Burma, however.
It is not only the military using land mines however, non state rebel groups, such as the KNLA (Karen national liberation army) also regularly use land mines, giving no warning to civiliians, except, supposadly a verbal warning.
The international campaign to ban landmines is hopeful that they will be able to rid Burma, and the rest of the world, of landmines in their lifetime, and hopefully, if the Burmese government and the rebel groups cooperate, they will acheive this goal.
