Jody Williams was awarded the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize jointly with the
International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) for her role as the
ICBL's founding coordinator. Under her guidance, the ICBL coalition
grew from a group of 6 organizations to a global network of over
1,000 members in 60 countries. In her speech, Williams explains how,
in the words of the Nobel Committee, the ICBL "started a process
which in the space of a few years changed a ban on antipersonnel
mines from a vision to a feasible reality" and how "this work has
grown into a convincing example of an effective policy for peace."
