Section 1050 of the conference report version of the fiscal year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would unnecessarily delay the destruction of anti-personnel landmine stockpiles until the Secretary of Defense provides a report to Congress, thereby preventing implementation of the 2022 U.S. Anti-Personnel Landmine Policy - a policy based on a comprehensive review with the Defense Department and others in the interagency. Anti-personnel landmines are “designed to be exploded by the presence, proximity or contact of a person and that will incapacitate, injure or kill one or more persons.” As they cannot distinguish between civilians and combatants, are difficult to safely remove, and often fail to self-destruct or self-deactivate, these landmines continue to disproportionately inflict suffering and death on civilians, and especially children, long after a conflict ends. The destruction of U.S. stockpiles, supported by policies established under Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden, must not be further delayed.
