In 1994, it was estimated that more than 100 million anti-personnel mines (hereinafter: AP mines) were scattered wantonly in over sixty countries. In 1997, over 110 million mines were deployed and another 100 million stockpiled around the world. Mines can be scattered over large areas by airplanes or delivered by rockets and do not need to be laid manually. AP mines were originally designed to slow down the advancement of enemy troops and to defend territory. For thirty years, AP mines have injured large numbers of civilians, although this remained practically unreported up until the 1980s, when these mines were used increasingly as a deliberate military strategy to spread terror among civilians.
