Landmines in El Salvador and Nicaragua: The Civilian Victims

In 1986, Americas Watch (now known as Human Rights Watch)
published one of the earliest, if not first, reports on the impact of
landmines. The report details civilian landmine casualties in El
Salvador and Nicaragua, as well as mine use by parties to the conflict,
all of which laid the weapon. The report also analyzed existing legal
agreements governing mine use, such as the Geneva Conventions and
Convention on Conventional Weapons.
