Abstract
The message for the International Day of Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action on 4 April 2014 by the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stated that the Convention on the Anti-Personnel Mines Ban was adopted in 161 states. However, millions of landmines in 78 states are still waiting to be removed. Every year, landmines kill 15,000 - 20,000 people and most of them are children, women and the elderly. Furthermore, landmines are still used by the armed forces, the terrorists, and even civilians to protect their properties. This paper surveys problems of landmines and the efforts and progresses of landmine removals in the ten countries with most landmines, namely, Egypt, Iran, Angola, Afghanistan, Iraq, Cambodia, Kuwait, Bosnia, Mozambique, and Somalia.
