Long concerned with the use of landmines, the International
Committee of the Red Cross commissioned a report on the military use
and effectiveness of antipersonnel mines in March 1996. This
groundbreaking report was one of the first studies to question and
contradict the military utility of this weapon and quickly became an
indispensable tool for proponents of the antipersonnel mine ban.
"Friend or Foe" examines the use and effectiveness of antipersonnel
mines, concluding that the limited military utility of landmines is far
outweighed by their grave humanitarian consequences.
