TMAC condemns Cambodia mine useListen to this articleThe Thailand Mine Action Centre (TMAC) has condemned what it described as repeated violations by Cambodia of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, also known as the Ottawa Convention, following another landmine incident on Monday that seriously injured a Thai soldier along the Thai–Cambodian border. TMAC spokesman Col Siwa Whang-akat said Sgt Sujin Jitkreeyan, a driver with the 1st Cavalry Division's 8th Engineer Battalion, was injured on Monday while conducting mine-clearing operations along the border. He also became the 11th Thai soldier to lose a limb since border tensions resurfaced. Thailand, the TMAC spokesman said, has gathered substantial evidence indicating the possession and use of anti-personnel landmines, which pose long-term risks to military personnel and civilians. The TMAC urged treaty members to strengthen monitoring and enforcement mechanisms.
