Extract

Ladies and Gentlemen: Welcome to Ottawa.

Many of you came to Ottawa last October for our previous landmines conference. Since then, it has been a year of frantic activity and full court press diplomacy. From Maputo to Tokyo, Vienna to Ashkabad, Kempton Park to Bonn, Manila to New Delhi, Saan'a to Brussels and Sydney to Oslo–the world's governments and peoples have been engaged in an extraordinary global effort to ban anti-personnel mines. And we have succeeded.
