Banning Landmines: Disarmament, Citizen Diplomacy, and Human Security
looks at accomplishments and setbacks in the crucial first decade of
the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty. The first half of the book considers the
implementation of the prohibitions and humanitarian assistance
provisions of the treaty, as well as efforts to promote universal
acceptance of the treaty among governments and non-state armed groups.
The second half of this book considers the impact of the landmine
movement on other issues (such as cluster munitions and disability
rights), as well as the extent to which it has contributed to the
field of human security. Edited by Nobel Peace Laureate Jody Williams
and two other long-time leaders of the mine ban movement, Stephen
Goose and Mary Wareham, Banning Landmines features contributions by
grassroots activists, diplomatic negotiators, mine survivors, arms
experts, and human rights defenders. This diverse group of writers at
the forefront of the landmine ban movement is well placed to provide
insights into this remarkable process, its precedents, and
implications for other work and issues.
