Abstract
Since September 2015, when Hungary started to secure its borders with Serbia with militarized razor-wire fences and closing routes for displaced people, refugees and migrants seeking refuge in European countries are having to find alternative routes to hope. Their desperation has compelled thousands of them to take long journey through cornfields toward mine suspected areas in Serbian-Croatian border. Due to their lack of knowledge about area and having limited contact with local communities makes them more vulnerable to landmines and unexploded ordinances. On other hand, being outside of protection of a state increases vulnerability. According to latest reports by Croatian Mine Action Center, the current status of mine suspected areas in Croatia amounts to 444 km2 Mine suspected areas are contaminated with 43,361 mines and also large number of unexploded ordinances. This study aims to take a comprehensive look at dangers displaced people face when fleeing through minefields. Surveys, reports and case studies conducted by agencies and organizations involved in mine action and protection of refugees, will be analyzed dealing with this tragic problem of landmines and unexploded ordnance.
