Can we agree that mines should deteriorate after a few years?
How to do that reliably though. One bad mine that doesn't deteriorate might even be more dangerous since people don't expect it.
It's usually more difficult to make it not deteriorate tho?
The chance that it just doesn't go off seems way higher to me, which would be negligible, since they aren't used for precise strikes.
Yeah the thing is you cannot guarantee that all mines deactivate. Some will last longer than others and this will put a probability on ending someone's life.
It won't change how you would handle them, you need to treat them all as a risk, but it would reduce accidental detonation after the time limit. Like a kid running over one in 20 years time.
Still better than guaranteed to ending a civilians live 20 years after.
