<P> Cambodia is a country located in South East Asia that has a major problem with landmines, especially in rural areas . This is the legacy of three decades of war which has taken a severe toll on the Cambodians; it has some 40,000 amputees, which is one of the highest rates in the world . The Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) estimates that there may be as many as four to six million mines and other pieces of unexploded ordnance in Cambodia . </P> <P> The landmines in Cambodia were placed by the US and Cambodian factions (including the Lon Nol, Khmer Rouge, the Heng Samrin and Hun Sen regimes, as well as the Coalition Government of Democratic Kampuchea who, with international support retained the UN seat throughout much of the 1980s) which clashed during the Civil War in Cambodia in the 1970s and 1980s . They were placed in the whole territory of the country . A common problem Cambodians faced with the anti-personnel mines is that often even the people who placed the mines do not remember them a couple of years later . </P> <P> 2010 casualty statistics from the Cambodian Mine Victim Information Service (CMVIS) show, that Cambodia had one of the highest casualty rates in the world . As of November 2017 the number of casualties in 2013 was 111, consisting of 22 persons killed and 89 injured . One - third of the casualties have been children, and almost all of them are boys, with studies showing that men and boys tend to be more willing than women to play with or examine explosives. of surviving landmine victims 87% are males over 15 years old, with a mean age of 28 years . In Afghanistan, 73% are males between ages 16 to 50, and 20% of the victims are male children ." </P>
