Any new mines introduced into service would have a self-destruct capability and would fully meet the requirements of international laws of armed conflict.
It would be a sort of self-destruct mechanism in the amendment.
I am pleased to hear that those are blunt and would self-destruct if sharpened.
Sewage, oil or garbage seeping into the sea will not self-destruct quickly, and damage can be caused by that.
Additionally, mine detonation relies on a short-life battery and any mine that fails to self-destruct will deactivate within a further short time.
It had built into it a self-destruct clause.
We have moreover declared a moratorium on the export of anti-personnel landmines which do not self-destruct or self-neutralise.
