The key problem is that there are still estimated to be more than 100 million landmines in minefields in around 70 countries. At the current rate of clearance (assuming no more are laid), it is estimated by the UN that it will take 600+ years to clear them all. Humanitarian organisations and governments have committed to the clearance, but as yet there are no reliable, safe volume clearance techniques available.
The average cost of finding and disposing of a landmine is between $300 and $1,000, of this only $3-$5 is spent on disposal, whilst the rest is spent on locating the devices. The UN estimates the total costs could come to $50bn a figure it revised from $33M just a few years ago.
