Text
Text of report (for appeal by chairman of Cambodian Mine Action
Centre at Tokyo conference, see FE/1945 B/2 5 ).
"I appeal to the Royal Government and the Khmer Royal Armed
Forces, as well as the party of Democratic Kampuchea and its
armed forces, to stop mining our nation's land - immediately,
totally and definitively, " His Majesty King Norodom Sihanouk
insisted in a 10th March letter from Beijing.
The letter, citing in particular the serious danger currently
caused by land mines, stressed.
"It is a fact that our Cambodia has become the world champion as
far as the number of invalids is concerned... ellipses as
published . Today there are more than 40,000 victims of mines and
other explosives. To this number, without counting the dead, we
should add another 600 per month whose arms or legs are mutilated
by explosions. \UU10 million land mines have been laid in our
poor motherland, while Cambodia's population is just 9 million...
In their opinion, it would require 600 years - or six centuries -
of work to clear all of these mines on our current small
budget... Therefore, I appeal to the Royal Government and the
Khmer Royal Armed Forces, as well as the party of Democratic
Kampuchea and its armed forces, to stop mining our land -
immediately, totally, and definitively; to begin joint mine
clearing operations; and to destroy completely all mines
remaining in their stocks... I would like to thank the soldiers
and, or the warriors of all parties in advance for their
patriotism and their nobility in totally destroying the land
mines so that our Cambodia and our Cambodian population can live
.".
