- Contributes to international peacekeeping efforts
- Increases public awareness of landmine hazards
Cons
- Can be expensive and resource-intensive to implement
- Detection technologies may have limitations in certain terrains
- Clearance processes can be time-consuming
- Risk of incomplete clearance leading to residual hazards
- Requires ongoing funding and international cooperation
