For the first six months of 2015, the GICHD and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) recorded 86 accidents related or suspected to be related to anti-vehicle mines (AVM) in 18 countries and territories, resulting in 306 casualties (109 people killed and 197 injured). This represented a sharp increase compared to 2013 data when 212 casualties from 13 countries/territories were reported over 12 months. While anti-personnel mines were outlawed by the 1997 Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, the use of AVMs has been regulated, but thus far not prohibited, despite their significant humanitarian and developmental impact.
Find all the recorded accidents with their location and description on the new live map, the result of joint research from GICHD and SIPRI. This map will be updated quarterly.
