Fourth International NGO Conference on Landmines

In an effort to target southern Africa as a regional 'mine-free' zone
and to encourage campaign participation by countries in Africa, the
most heavily-mined continent in the world, the International Campaign
to Ban Landmines (ICBL) organized the "Fourth International NGO
Conference on Landmines: Towards a Mine Free Southern Africa" in
Maputo, Mozambique from 25-28 February 1997. Holding the
conference in Mozambique allowed the ICBL to help strengthen
national campaigns in the region and led to the creation of four new
campaigns. The conference helped spur Mozambique and South Africa
to announce unilateral bans and helped consolidate African leadership
in the treaty negotiation process. This Delegate Pack was prepared for
each conference participant and includes fact sheets, survivor stories,
a list of resources and the final declaration.
