💨 Abstract

NATO members Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia plan to withdraw from the Ottawa Convention banning anti-personnel landmines, citing increased military threats from Russia and Belarus. The countries believe the move will allow them to defend their borders effectively, as an end to the conflict in Ukraine could lead to increased targeting of the region. Finland, which shares a border with Russia, is also considering leaving the treaty for the same reason.
