World leaders, landmine survivors, Nobel peace prize winners and other advocates for a global ban on antipersonnel landmines look forward to the momentous Nairobi Summit on a Mine-Free World: 29 November – 3 December 2004.

The Nairobi Summit is the first review conference of the convention which prohibits landmines and the biggest milepost since its birth in Ottawa in December 1997.

More than 500 delegates, including decision makers at the highest levels, are expected. President Mwai Kibaki of Kenya will open the event, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan may close it and Pope John Paul II and Jordan’s Queen Noor are also expected to contribute.
