Explosive remnants of war
Under the Mine Ban Treaty, victims are defined
as those who are directly impacted and therefore
have been killed by a landmine blast or
survived one, as well as the surviving family
members of those killed and injured. Under the
Convention on Cluster Munitions, victims also
include affected family members and affected
communities. Throughout this document,
‘victims’ refers to survivors, family members
of those affected and affected communities;
‘casualties’ refers to those directly killed or
injured by blasts; while ‘survivors’ specifically
refers to those who have been directly impacted
and survived landmines/Explosive Remnants
of War blasts.
Landmine and Cluster Munition Monitor,
Landmine Monitor 2011, Mines Action Canada,
October 2011, p. 51.
‘Mines’ include victim-activated anti-personnel
mines, anti-vehicle mines and improvised
explosive devices; 2010 is the most recent year
for which verified casualty totals were available
for all countries at the time of publication.
Please see , accessed
