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.

And i am as well doing a school project on landmines and i would like to help in anyway to stop them from being produced, Its a very sad subject!!! I think more people should help out on this subject...you shouldent take things for granted...i imagine myself in a country with that problem and it scares me! why are we in a world of hate?

I was very moved when I saw the documentary about Tun Channareth and his efforts to help landmine victims through education, building and repairing wheelchairs, and his support of these people. His story is inspiring and one that everyone should see. I support him and the effort to remove landmines from the affected countries....and the effort to curtail the production of landmines. |

je suis sincèrement navrée de la sauvagerie de l'homme et de son inconscience quand il invente et utilise des armes quelles qu'elles soient. Combien sont touchés dans leur chair, combien vivent dans la terreur?
Puissent les politiques, les commerçants cultiver une pensée et une action de paix.
Puissent-ils penser que les conséquences des décisions qu'ils vont prendre, des armes qu'ils inventent, pourraient s'appliquer tout aussi bien, à leurs enfants, à leur famille, qu'à eux-mêmes, à leurs concitoyens, à leur pays, à celle qui les a mis au monde etc...
Puissent-ils penser que la peur et la terreur ainsi engendrées touchent et handicapent chez tous à des degrés différents notre capacité d'amour et de paix, de vie. Quand pourrons-nous vivre sans crainte ? |

Landmines are apolitical, amoral, and unparticular - they target friend and foe, stranger and ally, young and old, noncombatant and warrior. Their indiscriminate use has lead to the pain and suffering of untold generations that had no part of the fight - they had the unfortuatous luck to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. As long as Man chooses to employ munitions as part of world diplomacy, those munitions must remain under the direction of human control. Landmines, by their nature, are antithetical to this idea. Therefore, it is incumbant on the leaders and citizens of the world to join together and demand strict control on the mines currently in use and ban any future manufacture or deployment. Complete and total elimination is the only acceptable policy regarding landmine use. |

A total ban should mean just that-TOTAL !!
States, when signing conventions, should adhere to the spirit as well as to the letter of the convention. I believe the rigging of anti-tampering measures to anti-vehicle mines is just a synical exercise in an effort to side-step the convention. "Soldiers that never sleep" should be accounted for just as soldiers that do sleep. The internally displaced will continue to add to the statistics for many years to come without any further deployment of these devices.
No mines Not ever No derogation of responsibilities on States' part ever |

Landmines are a method of killing that does not discriminate between child, man, woman, ally, or enemy. Indiscriminate and frequent abusive use have led me to believe that landmines ought to be outlawed in an effort to protect the dignity of human life. |

Ban Landmines!!
I did a history fair project on this movement, and now i fully support it. Thanks for everything the movement has done. And oh yeah.... the US needs to sign NOW!! What's our problem??? We say we are one of the world's most modern country and we start wars to "help" other people. So why can't we stop this landmine madness? Its not a war, its not that hard. I'm only 14 and i see that we need to sign the MBT. Why can't the president? |

I completly support the ban of landmines, as well as any other weapons such as those using depleted uranium, which punish the civilian population well after the end of eny hostilities. On a more economical side they are also considerably expensive to remove. |
