💨 Abstract

In the face of increased military threats from Russia, Poland, Finland, and the three Baltic states have announced plans to withdraw from the Ottawa Convention banning anti-personnel landmines. This move threatens decades of campaigning against the weapon, which is responsible for maiming and killing civilians long after conflicts have ended. The U.S., Russia, China, India, and Israel have not signed or ratified the treaty.
