There is a landmine treaty which isn't signed by a handful of nations that don't take human rights too seriously. Not surprisingly, the US is on that list, rubbing shoulders with the likes of North Korea, Uzbekistan and Syria.

After all, maiming civilians is what it's all about for these brave warrior nations.
