Unfortunately, it is not clear whether peace negotiations can significantly reduce this burden, as the risk of victimization may linger well after conflicts end. One key reason for the such persistence is the presence of antipersonnel landmines, which are hidden underground and remain active for decades. Looking at the recent experience of Colombia, we study the conditions under which peace agreements reduce landmine blasts and victimization. Our findings point to the importance of post-conflict information sharing and comprehensive humanitarian mine clearance campaigns.45 páginasPDFengOpen AccessHow Peace Saves Lives: Evidence from ColombiaWorking paperD74 - Conflict; Conflict Resolution; Alliances; RevolutionsP48 - Political Economy; Legal Institutions; Property Rights; Natural Resources; Energy; Environment; Regional StudiesQ56 - Environment and Development; Environment and Trade; Sustainability; Environmental Accounts and Accounting; Environmental Equity; Population GrowthI25 - Education and Economic DevelopmentLandminesvictimsconflictpeace<LEMB>Acceso abiertoAtribucion-NoComercial-CompartirIgual CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
