Prince Harry in southern Africa: Where are the world's landmines?
As part of his tour of Southern Africa , Prince Harry is visiting Angola, to highlight continuing efforts to remove and destroy landmines.
He follows in the footsteps of his mother, Princess Diana, who in 1997 also walked through a partially-cleared minefield. The images of her trip became world famous.
Landmines continue to take thousands of lives in dozens of countries. So where in The World are they and what progress has been made?
How Harry is following his mother's leadPrincess Diana was known for her charity work, championing causes which weren't always in The Public eye. She, for example. That helped to change attitudes to The Virus .
Raising awareness of landmines was The Princess 's first major cause after divorcing The Prince of Wales in 1996.
For decades landmines had been widely used In Conflict .
Many unexploded devices left over from wars were killing and maiming people who stepped or triggered the bombs unintentionally.
Images of her with amputees in Angola showed the destruction the devices were causing.
During his trip, Prince Harry described landmines as "an unhealed scar of war".
What are landmines and how many people do they kill and injure?Landmines are explosives. They have detonating systems that are triggered by contact and are usually buried just under the ground, or above it.
There are two main types: anti-personnel landmines, aimed at killing or injuring a person, and anti-tank mines, designed to destroy or incapacitate vehicles.
Mines were used in World War One, but their deployment proliferated from the 1960s onwards.
Countries with highest number of casualties from mines in 2017This data includes serious injury and death Source: Landmine Monitor 2018 reportThe random placement of mines became part of military strategy, creating hazardous environments for many people. About 60 countries and territories are still contaminated with anti-personnel mines.
More Than 120,000 people were killed or injured by landmines between 1999-2017, according to.
Nearly half of The Victims are children, with 84% being boys. Civilians Make Up 87% of casualties.
Which countries have The Most landmines?Around The World , thousands of landmines remain.
Angola is one of The Most mined places in The World , because of the Civil War there from 1975 to 2002.
The demining charity Halo says it is impossible to know exactly how many mines are in the country, but it has decommissioned almost 100,000 since 1994.
The Angolan mine authority says there are approximately 1,200 minefields.
Removing mines is a costly and dangerous task. At current rates, it would be likely to take hundreds of years to eradicate them completely around The World .
Other territories with large areas covered in mines are Chad, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Thailand, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Turkey, Iraq, Yemen and Western Sahara.
What is being done to prevent landmines killing more people?Princess Diana's involvement in the anti-mine cause involved a call for a global ban on mines.
In 1997, just three months after her death, 122 countries signed the Ottawa Treaty, that prohibits the use, production, stockpiling and transfer of anti-personnel mines.
Countries are also obliged to clear minefields within 10 years of signing up and to destroy stockpiles within four years.
There are now 164 countries bound by it - including the UK. However, the US, China, India and Russia - which is thought to have the largest Stockpile - are among the 32 United Nations members that have not signed it.
