The media roll-out of the 2004 Landmine Monitor -- the most comprehensive overview of the landmine situation worldwide -- is underway, with press launches in Cambodia, Mozambique and Belgium.
Landmine Monitor is embargoed until tomorrow morning, after which it'll be available for download here.
The report will conclude that there were more than 8,000 reported incidents of deaths or injuries caused by mines last year, down slightly on 2002. It will also say that up to 20,000 more people could have become victims over the last year because so many cases go unreported.
It will call on more countries to ratify the Ottawa Treaty and on governments to provide more aid to victims.

Hi Stuart
Just wondered whether you've seen the results of the National Portrait Gallery Schweppes competition for 2004. Second prize was won by James Reeve for his photo of an Afghan Landmine Amputee Football Team. http://www.npg.org.uk/live/schweppes.asp#anchor1609357
The world would be a better place if more or all countries provide aid to landmine victims whether the aid is great or small.
Very cool design! Useful information. Go on!
