The International Committee of the Red Cross has played a key role
in the effort to ban anti-personnel landmines and in offering aid
to victims of war and internal armed violence. This book provides
an overview of the work of the ICRC in this area from 1955 through
1999, and gives additional commentary on general issues of the
methods and means of warfare. It contains International Committee
of the Red Cross position papers, working papers, and speeches made
by its representatives to the international meetings convened to
address the mines issue, including the 1995-96 Review Conference of
the 1980 Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons and the
diplomatic meeting which adopted the Ottawa treaty banning
anti-personnel mines. These documents provide critical insights
into the development of international humanitarian law on this
issue, and will form a basis for discussions on landmines and other
conventional weapons.
