" International Campaign to Ban Landmines
- ICBL"
A recently published (2006) book
is highly recommended to all.
“A path is made by walking it”
Ed. Patricia Pak Poy RSM (David Lovell Publishing in conjunction
with ICBL Australian Network to Ban Landmines.)
The book is subtitled “Reflections on the Australian
Network to Ban Landmines 1991 – 2006 “
It is a book but it is also much more than that, despite its
small size – 159 pages! |
|
It is a collection of essays, none of which is long,
some are very short; yet in that modest format it presents a
challenge to any and every person with an honest open mind.
One essay alone should be enough to convince every normally
intelligent reader of the absolute imperative to ensure that
the Mine Ban Treaty (formal title “Convention
on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer
of Antipersonnel Landmines and on their Destruction”)
- binding international law since March 1 1999 – is universally
honoured.
That essay is the NOBEL LECTURE delivered by the Nobel Peace
Prize Laureate 1997, Jody Williams (for ICBL), in Oslo December
10 1997.
I recommend you read this book - every page. It is great!
