As with other weapons, it is prohibited in all circumstances to use any mine,booby trap, or other device that is designed or of a nature to cause superfluous injury orunnecessary suffering. 261For example, mines and booby-traps filled with shards of glass as their primary woundingmechanism would violate this prohibition. Such a weapon would be regarded as calculated tocause superfluous injury because the shards would be undetectable by X-rays and would hinderthe medical treatment of the wound without offering any corresponding military advantage. 262 Inaddition, such a weapon would be prohibited on the grounds that it used fragments nondetectableby X-rays. 2636.12.4.2 Mines, Booby-Traps, and Other Devices Specifically Designed toDetonate During Detection Operations.

One example of a prohibited device might be a mine orbooby-trap that is filled with shards of glass. Such a weapon would likely be regarded as unnecessarily injuriousbecause the shards would be undetectable by X-ray in the victim’s body, and this would cause suffering that wouldbe wholly unnecessary for its military purpose. (In any case, the device would be prohibited by Protocol I of theConvention on non-detectable fragments).”).263 Refer to § 6.11 (Weapons Injuring by Fragments Not Detectable by X-Rays).362
