(2)Requires that all remotely delivered APL be equipped with self-
destruct devices and backup self-deactivation features (in other words,
be smart);(3)Requires that all non-remotely delivered APL not equipped with such
devices (dumb mines) be used within controlled, marked, and
monitored minefields;(4)Requires that all APL be detectable using available technology;(5)Requires that the party laying mines assume responsibility to ensure
against their irresponsible or indiscriminate use;(6)Provides for means to enforce compliance.(7)Amended Protocol I1 also clarifies the use of the M 18 Claymore
"mine" when used in the tripwire mode (Art. 5(6)). (When used in
command-detonated mode, the Protocol does not apply, as the issue of
distinction is addressed.) Claymores may be used in the tripwire mode
without invoking the "dumb" mine restrictions of Amended Mines
Protocol I1 if:(a) They are not left out longer then 72 hours;@)The Claymores are located in the immediate proximity of the
military unit that emplaced them; and(c) The area is monitored by military personnel to ensure civilians stay
out of the area.d. In addition to Amended Protocol 11, the United States released a new
policy statement on landmines in February 2004. Under this policy:
(1)The United States has committed to eliminate persistent (dumb)
landmines of all types from its arsenal. Use of "dumb" mines for
training purposes.(2)Persistent anti-personnel landmines are only stockpiled for use by the
United States in fulfillment of our treaty obligations to the Republic of
Korea.
