In September/October 1994, then-United Nations Secretary-General
Boutros Boutros-Ghali wrote an article in the prominent scholarly
journal, "Foreign Affairs," effectively endorsing the goal of a total ban
on antipersonnel mines. This was the first time a high level official of
the international community had written about landmines in a wellknown
foreign affairs policy journal. In his article, Boutros-Ghali
discusses the global humanitarian problem caused by the weapon and
calls for a concerted international effort to eradicate it.
