The International Campaign to Ban Landmines (1997)
The International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL),
founded in 1992 by Jody Williams, is a global network
of some 100 countries working for a world free of
landmines. The Campaign (ICBL) was awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of its efforts to
bring about the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty. One hundred
twenty-one countries, not including the United States,
signed the treaty.
Every country must contribute to
the eradication of these weapons
if it is committed to preventing
civilian harm during and after
armed conflict.
Erected 2013 by Nobel Peace Laureate Project.
