Content note - I am still trying to figure out a "voice" on here, even as I'm trying to figure out who else is here and what they're saying and listening to and interested in.

I do feel strongly about the progress made by the #OttawaConvention in 25 years. We've done so very much, there is still a lot to be done, working for a #MineFreeWorld

I did #landmines for 3 years @ HQ - but also remember forest roads in #BiH with "Danger! Mines!" signs.

Le 3 décembre 1997, des gens du monde entier se sont rassemblés à Ottawa pour atteindre l’objectif commun d’un monde sans mines antipersonnel. Le Canada a joué un rôle central dans le processus politique qui a mené à l’adoption de la Convention.

Depuis son adoption il y a 25 ans, 164 pays ont adopté la #ConventionOttawa, ce qui en fait l’accord international de #désarmement le plus réussi et le plus universellement accepté.

On 3 December, 1997, the world came together in Ottawa with a common goal to achieve a world free of anti-personnel landmines. #Canada played a pivotal role in the political process that led to the adoption of the Convention.

In the 25 years since its adoption, 164 countries have joined the #OttawaConvention, making it one of the most successful and universally adhered-to international disarmament treaties in history.
