In April 2005, Handicap
International publishes the report “What rights
for mine victims? Reparation, compensation: from legal
analysis to political perspectives”.
This comprehensive legal study is divided into two parts:
one treats the legal status of landmine victims. From the
Geneva Conventions over International environmental law
to national laws: where can rights for landmine victims
be drawn from, and, if there are such rights, where can
they be claimed in national, regional or international
legal systems?
The second part treats the possibility of compensation
for the victims. The idea of a compensation fund was illustrated
with four examples of existing funds.
This report is being spread to political institutions and
decision-makers, and to civil society organisations involved
in legal help.
