What is the difference between an anti-tank and a anti-personnel landmine?

Anti-tank landmine is most effective against land vehicles, while anti-personnel landmines are most effective against infantry. It will most of the time depend on the explosive charge in the mine. An anti-tank landmine will have more explosive to be able to pierce through a vehicle's armor, and the blast will often be concentrated, while anti-personnel landmines will send lots of shrapnel flying, which can easily incapacitate infantry.

What countries are trying to ban landmines?
There are dozens of reasons to ban antipersonnel landmines and to campaign for this goal. Some of the moral, humanitarian, socio-economic and diplomatic arguments. Antipersonnel landmines still maim and kill ordinary people every day. They blow off their victims' legs, feet, toes and hands. They fire shrapnel into their faces and bodies. Antipersonnel mines are indiscriminate and inhumane weapons and therefore go against international humanitarian law. The law of war imposes certain restrictions on how combatants operate. It says that they have to distinguish between civilian and military targets and that the injuries inflicted should be proportionate with military objectives. Antipersonnel landmines fail both the discrimination and the proportionality tests. Banning landmines makes a difference. There is no explanation why some countries don't ban landmines. ---------------------------------- BS. There is a very easy answer to why some countries still employ them: landmines are very effective at what they are designed to do. That is as combat engineering tools that block, impede (slow down) or channel your opponent in order for you to gain a tactical advantage over them....which is to say KILL THEM. What I find amusing is that the nations that are crying for the ban don't face the prospects of fightingh a real shooting war any time soon. Used responsibly, landmines can be a very effective tool.
