UXO

[edit]

UXO 41.191.104.240 (talk) 11:01, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please include a mentioning of the Solomon Islands. As this article of November 2022 explains, the amount is not known and will not be for a while but it is significant.

Ten countries

[edit]

There are only nine countries in the ten countries list. Also, none of the sources mention China's 10 million UXO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Solo1y (talkcontribs) 19:45, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Societal Effects

[edit]

Unexploded Ordnance has many effects on post-conflict societies outside of physical harm to the people who live in contaminated areas. The segments of society negatively affected which are often overlooked include foreign direct investment, education, aid distribution, industrialization, and the environment. Each of these sections of society is affected in drastically different but intertwined ways which will be discussed further in subsections of this article.

On the positive sidde, there is now a bit of an international effort to clean the Solomon Islands, which had UXO everywhere. Japanese and Americqn I believe. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:502A:E996:11FA:4F85 (talk) 02:42, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

KOC & Kuwait

[edit]

What do the companies listed in Kuwait have to do with KOC and what is KOC? CormacGallagher (talk) 01:48, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fairly sure that KOC means Kuwait Oil company, and I think that the companies involved were active in Kuwait clearing up oil and UXO after the war, but that bit of the article definitely needs clarifying. If you can find some good sources please fix that section Sgtnugg (talk) 09:48, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
