Jan Mörtberg

Jan Mörtberg is a retired colonel and former head of the Department of Security, Strategy, and Leadership at the Swedish Defence University. He has been vocal about the role of landmines in modern warfare, arguing that Sweden should reconsider its commitment to the Ottawa Convention, which prohibits the use of antipersonnel mines. Mörtberg believes that with advances in technology, modern landmines could serve strategic military purposes while minimizing civilian casualties, thus advocating for an evaluation of alternative mine systems that are more effective and safer.
