地雷。1979年,在驱逐红色高棉期间,柬埔寨埋下了地雷,用来阻止红色高棉的回归。数以万计的当地人被强行征募,在柬泰边境(749.95公里长)修建了一个障碍雷场。柬埔寨政府军还埋设了地雷,以保护城镇、村庄和补给线免受反对派武装的攻击。红色高棉和君主主义反对派武装还使用地雷保护新赢得的土地,或污染越南被遗弃的防御阵地的内部。

迄今为止,柬埔寨已清除了50%的雷区,但它仍然是世界上受地雷影响最严重的国家之一。自1979年以来,记录在案的伤亡人数超过6.4万人,截肢者超过2.5万人,这是世界上人均比例最高的。

Mines. In 1979, during the expulsion of the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia planted mines to prevent the return of the Khmer Rouge. Tens of thousands of locals were forcibly recruited, A barrier minefield was built on the Cambodian Thai border (749.95 km long). Cambodian government forces also planted mines to protect towns, villages and supply lines from attacks by opposition forces. Khmer Rouge and monarchist opposition forces also used mines to protect newly won land or pollute the interior of abandoned defense positions in Vietnam.
To date, Cambodia has cleared 50 per cent of mined areas, but it remains one of the most mine affected countries in the world. Since 1979, more than 64000 casualties and 25000 amputees have been recorded, which is the highest per capita ratio in the world.
