Landmine/ERW Casualties in Cambodia 2012(英語版）

I. Background
As a result of nearly three decades of conflict, Cambodia remains one of the countries most severely affected by landmines.
With about 80 per cent of the rural population being dependent on agriculture or related activities, in addition to the physical danger, thousands of Cambodians remain socially and economically disadvantaged by the threat of landmines, cluster munitions, air-dropped bombs and other unexploded ordnance (UXO).
In recent years, casualty figures showed an annual downward trend, with the Cambodian Mine/UXO Victim Information System recording 352 landmine and UXO casualties in 2007, 271 casualties in 2008 and 243 in 2009.
However, in 2010 this figure rose again, to 286. This rise can partly be attributed to two serious anti-tank mine accidents during 2010 – one in Palin in May, and a second in Battambang in November – that between them killed or injured 30 people.
