Actor Daniel Craig on Thursday pushed the UN to do more to rid the world of landmines, saying booby-trapped explosives kill civilians indiscriminately including children for years after they are deployed.
Mr Craig, star of James Bond movies and a UN advocate against mines and so-called improvised explosive devices (IEDs), kicked off UN Security Council talks on de-mining former warzones and getting more governments to outlaw the devices.
The virtual meeting came as the US Biden administration was weighing whether to reverse a Trump-era policy to permit the stockpiling and deployment of anti-personnel landmines, despite a global treaty against them.
