Worldwide - 110 million landmines - are laid.

The amount of used cluster bombs and cluster munitions is similar.

The use of landmines, cluster bombs and cluster munitions is arbitrary and uncontrolled.

In about 25 countries cluster bombs and cluster munitions are in use.

More than 60 countries store such amunition in unbelievable quantity.

Only the US, China, and Russia together possess about 3 billion pieces.

Many countries still refuse a ban on landmines, cluster bombs, and cluster munition. Reason: "There is no international majority in favor of that."
