The book "Anti-Personnel Landmines" addresses the international principles supporting the prohibition of landmine use and those favoring their use, providing a comprehensive description of the tragedies they inflict upon both civilians and military personnel. It refers to the principle of military necessity, the principle of proportionality, and international agreements that prohibit or restrict the use of these mines. The author commends international, global, regional, and national initiatives that take a firm stance against this practice, calling for greater efforts to achieve a complete ban. The second chapter details the international responses to these calls, including the convening of regional and international conferences and the establishment of treaties to ban their use, development, production, and stockpiling. This leads to efforts to destroy both planted and stored mines and to establish mechanisms for implementing these agreements by settling disputes and building trust and transparency between nations.
