In order to overcome one of the most serious problems of our times, the international community signed a treaty in Ottawa outlawing an invisible enemy that strikes blindly:
antipersonnel mines. This documentary reviews the prohibitions – on the use, development, stockpiling and transfer of antipersonnel mines – and the obligations instituted by the treaty:
the destruction of existing stocks, the clearance of mine-infested areas and the setting up of prevention and assistance programs. It serves to remind us that at the dawn of the new millennium the treaty’s provisions represent a complete plan of action for eradicating this scourge – an objective that can only be reached if the treaty is actually applied on the ground.
English, Portuguese, French, Arabic, Russian and Chinese language versions available.
