Exposing the Source: U.S. Companies and the Production of Antipersonnel Mines

Released in April 1997, this short report by Human Rights Watch
identifies 47 United States companies engaged in the manufacturing of
components for use in antipersonnel mines. Seventeen of these
companies renounced their involvement in landmine production prior
to publication of the report and a 'stigmatization' campaign was
subsequently launched by the United States Campaign to Ban
Landmines to press recalcitrant companies. "Exposing the Source" is
still widely referred to within the landmine community.
