Landmines are extremly inhumane and the damage they can cause is both gruesome and unjust. No one should ever have to live with the fear of where a landmine could be located, or what the outcome is if they encounter one. I hope that the production and use of mines world wide will soon be over.

Landmine, possessive noun, constructed of two separate words land and mine, combined form an explosive device that is a metaphor for a dispute over the ownership of land. The possession impulse leads to the development of a specific device which ironically dispossess all of the land.

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE:
In my country war ended 13 years ago, and there are still people dying from land mines.
This means that some innocent kid who wasn't even born during the war could die....... even today, on a school trip or just playing somewhere outside the city.
Mines are not built for protection of territory but for most brutal way of killing. Those who produce it should be stopped and those who use it should be punished.
I'm right now working raising awareness campaign and visual communication material about this, I'm graphic designer and I feel this to be my obligation.........
do your part......... act now

To Whom It May Concern..The Leaders of the World:

We need to leave the planet in a better state of care when it is our time to leave its graces. WE need to insure all the future generations safety by removing all weapons that can hurt, harm, maim and kill. Is this the way the adults behave to teach our children peace and non violence towards one another by leaving our war toys behind to harm all those who wander by during their adventures in life? I surely hope not. This planet is just on loan to us during all of our lifetimes. I'm sure that the "Powers That Be", the God's if you will would not welcome us after our death if we selfishly leave war toys behind to kill innocent children and other living speices. Consider the following:

Native American Indian Traditional Code of Ethics

Each morning upon rising, and each evening before sleeping, give thanks for the life within you and for all life, for the good things the Creator has given you and for the opportunity to grow a little more each day. Consider your thoughts and actions of the past day and seek for the courage and strengthto be a better person. Seek for the things that will benefit others (everyone).
Respect. Respect means "To feel or show honor or esteem for someone or something; to consider the well being of, or to treat someone or somethin with deference or courtesy". Showing respect is a basic law of life.
a. Treat every person from the tiniest child to the oldest elder with respect at all times.
b. Special respect should be given to Elders, Parents, Teachers, and Community Leaders.
c. No person should be made to feel "put down" by you; avoid hurting other hearts as you would avoid a deadly poison.
d. Touch nothing that belongs to someone else (especially Sacred Objects) without permission, or an understanding between you.
e. Respect the privacy of every person, never intrude on a person's quiet moment or personal space.
f. Never walk between people that are conversing.
g. Never interrupt people who are conversing.
h. Speak in a soft voice, especially when you are in the presence of Elders, strangers or others to whom special respect is due.
i. Do not speak unless invited to do so at gatherings where Elders are present (except to ask what is expected of you, should you be in doubt).
j. Never speak about others in a negative way, whether they are present or not.
k. Treat the earth and all of her aspects as your mother. Show deep respect for the mineral world, the plant world, and the animal world. Do nothing to pollute our Mother, rise up with wisdom to defend her.
l. Show deep respect for the beliefs and religion of others.
m. Listen with courtesy to what others say, even if you feel that what they are saying is worthless. Listen with your heart.
n. Respect the wisdom of the people in council. Once you give an idea to a council meeting it no longer belongs to you. It belongs to the people. Respect demands that you listen intently to the ideas of others in council and that you do not insist that your idea prevail. Indeed you should freely support the ideas of others if they are true and good, even if those ideas ideas are quite different from the ones you have contributed. The clash of ideas brings forth the Spark of Truth.
Once a council has decided something in unity, respect demands that no one speak secretly against what has been decided. If the council has made an error, that error will become apparent to everyone in its own time.
Be truthful at all times, and under all conditions.
Always treat your guests with honor and consideration. Give of your best food, your best blankets, the best part of your house, and your best service to your guests.
The hurt of one is the hurt of all, the honor of one is the honor of all.
Receive strangers and outsiders with a loving heart and as members of the human family.
All the races and tribes in the world are like the different colored flowers of one meadow. All are beautiful. As children of the Creator they must all be respected.
To serve others, to be of some use to family, community, nation, and the world is one of the main purposes for which human beings have been created. Do not fill yourself with your own affairs and forget your most important talks. True happiness comes only to those who dedicate their lives to the service of others.
Observe moderation and balance in all things.
Know those things that lead to your well-being, and those things that lead to your destruction.
Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms; in prayer, in dreams, in times of quiet solitude, and in the words and deeds of wise Elders and friends.

We must rid ourselves of these lurking killers and maimers of innocent and unsuspecting people. There must be a ban on their use in the future and a plan to deploy specialists with appropriate technology to those areas which may yet be heavily mined so that these weapons can be detonated safely. It is paramount to ban the production and use of this weaponry.

Left overs from wars fought, some intended for use even now. Do these devices really target the people in the fight ? No Most are left for innocents to find and become victims of. The International Community should be taking leadership to end the use of and clean up of devices such as these that can cause such devastation to the public at large.

Cluster bombs and landmines are bombs that last long after a war has ended. Landmines can last for decades. These inhumane weapons should be illegal, what are they waiting for? Would they like to see photos of babies blown up after picking up a cluster bomb that looks like a toy a child could play with? Most of the victims are civilians, not an enemy. Landmines have ruined more lives, killed and left people with amputated legs, unable to work and take care of their families the way they were meant to. All countries should sign this treaty, there are no excuses.

Innocent children can be handicapped for live buy the mines, and no one, specially not children, schoud experience that. Every day I'm praying and fighting for the worlds poor and opressed people and mostly the children, who got wounded mostly, and I wish, that some more people woud do that, because it does help. It doesent matter, what colour, religion or culture, the children has, for no one can deside, where they wont to be born, and children are wery much like each other all ower the world and all desourve to be protected.
