The International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), launched in 1992, is a coalition of 1,400 organizations in over 90 countries who work locally, nationally, regionally, and internationally to ban antipersonnel (AP) landmines.

In 2001, the General Meeting, a biennial meeting of representatives of all national campaigns and organizations, approved the ICBL 2004 Action Plan, challenging ourselves to increased activity to accomplish as many of our goals as possible by 2004. 2004 is a critical year as the first Review Conference of the Mine Ban Treaty will be held in Nairobi, Kenya at the end of the year and that Review Conference will shape the next five years of work related to the Treaty and a mine-free world.

With the year 2004 approaching, in 2003 the ICBL undertook extensive and comprehensive consultations regarding the future of the campaign. In September of 2003, the General Meeting of the ICBL formally endorsed the concept of the ICBL reaffirming its original goals, and continuing to engage in the same types of activities as in the past, but in a gradually more decentralized fashion post-2004, with national campaigns, organizations and focal points playing an enhanced role where appropriate. As part of this process, the ICBL's Coordinating Committee was entrusted to develop a transition plan, including a streamlined staff structure.

The Coordinating Committee is now seeking three individuals to serve the ICBL in the next phase of the coalition's work. These are new positions. The transition plan includes sufficient overlap between current and future staff to ensure the smooth operation of the ICBL.

The current positions available are:
