Latvia Latvia: Child Soldiers Global Report 2001 From the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers There are no indications of under-18s in government armed forces. June 12, 2001 Latvia: Landmine Monitor Report 2000 Key developments since March 1999: Latvia has announced that it has 4,500 antipersonnel mines in stockpile. During 1999 the Ministry of Defense decided to shift primarily to command-detonated AP mines or antitank mines. Mines and UXO remain a substantial problem, but there are few resources for clearance. August 1, 2000 Violations by the Latvian Department of Citizenship and Immigration In this investigation of the application of the 1991 Latvian law On the Registration of Residents, our findings indicate that the Department of Citizenship and Immigration has targeted certain non-citizen groups and denied them registration as legal residents of Latvia. These groups include civilians who work for the Soviet/Russian military, those who live in temporary housing, retired Soviet military officers, and individuals most of whom have had no connection to the Soviet military who live in housing that was once built by military constructions units.
