Report on Activities: Review Conference of the Convention on Conventional Weapons

The International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) succeeded in
urging France to call a Review Conference of the Convention on
Conventional Weapons (CCW), the agreement that includes a protocol
regulating anti-personnel landmine use. The ICBL used the Review
Conference to promote its call for a total ban, engaging the public and
government delegates. While the conference failed to reach consensus
on banning landmines, civil society engagement in Vienna helped
increase the number of pro-ban governments to 14. Participants
agreed to re-convene in 1996 to continue negotiations.
