From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cambodia has one of the worst land mine problems in the world. Cambodia has experienced close to three decades of perpetual war and violence which has led to a large proliferation of land mines and UXO (unexploded ordnance) throughout the countryside. Often areas that could be used for agriculture, commercial, civil and other uses are not accessible due to the dangers of land mines. In 2002, 98 percent of the mine casualties in Cambodia were civilian.[1]
