Summary: "Landmine Monitor has documented credible reports of the Myanmar military forcing civilians to remove antipersonnel mines from the ground, without training or protective equipment, and forcing civilians to carry equipment for the military in areas where the danger of antipersonnel mines exists—on some occasions using civilians as human minesweepers. Such activities constitute a threat to the right to life, liberty and security of person as stipulated in Article 3 of the UDHR. The ICBL has consistently encouraged the authorities in Myanmar to end such practices, to halt the military?s extensive use of antipersonnel landmines, and to accede to the Mine Ban Treaty.".....SEE APPENDIX
