It is my strong belief that mines, which may be exploded by the presence or proximity of a person, are morally unacceptable. I fully support the convention on the prohibition of the use, stockpiling, transfer and production on anti-personnel mines and on their destruction.
Through their signature, governments promise to officially adopt and ratify the Ottawa Treaty and to comply with all of its terms. These include support for global demining work and assistance for mine victims. Through my signature on the People's treaty, I commit to working to ensure that governments keep these promises.
3956 people have signed the treaty.

I was shocked and sickened when I recently saw a P.B.S. report, which had originated in Afghanistan, showing the mutilated bodies of men, women and children who had been injured by landmines. These innocent people had suffered unbelievable horrors as they simply went about their daily business. We are so fortunate to live in an environment free of this type of plague. Let us do the most that we can to rid the world of the insanity of landmines. |
