The ICBL was launched in October 1992 by a group of six non-governmental organizations : Handicap International, Human Rights Watch, Medico International, Mines Advisory Group, Physicians for Human Rights and Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation. These founding organizations witnessed the horrendous effect of mines on the communities they were working with in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America and saw how mines hampered and even prevented their development efforts in these countries. The International Campaign to Ban Landmines(ICBL) is a global network in over 70 countries that works for a world free of antipersonnel landmines and cluster munitions, where landmine and cluster munition survivors can lead fulfilling lives. The Campaign was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of its efforts to bring about the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty. Since then, we have been advocating for the words of the treaty to become a reality, demonstrating on a daily basis that civil society has the power to change the world. As a member of the Cluster Munition Coalition, the ICBL is engaged in the global effort to ban cluster munitions and to address their humanitarian impact. In December 2006, the ICBL decided to engage extensively in the global effort to prohibit cluster munitions. This marked the first time that the ICBL had become significantly engaged on an issue other than antipersonnel mines. The main reasons for the ICBL' s decision were that cluster munitions inevitably end up leaving behind large numbers of unexploded ’duds’ which behave essentially like antipersonnel mines; that many ICBL members had been already working extensively on cluster munitions; and that international efforts to achieve a global ban on cluster munitions were at a crucial point, a point where the ICBL could have a meaningful impact. 1, record 1, English, - International%20Campaign%20to%20Ban%20Landmines

La Campagne internationale pour interdire les mines (ICBL) a été lancée en 1992 par 6 organisations : Handicap International, Human Rights Watch, Medico International, Mines Advisory Group, Physicians for Human Rights and Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation. Témoins des conséquences dramatiques des mines antipersonnel sur les communautés avec lesquelles elles travaillent en Afrique, en Asie, au Moyen-Orient et en Amérique Latine, ces organisations réalisent qu'une solution à la crise des mines antipersonnel doit être trouvée et que cette solution n'est autre qu'une interdiction totale de ce type d'armes. En tant que réseau, nous jouons essentiellement un rôle de surveillance et de plaidoyer : nous élevons les voix de la société civile afin que nos préoccupations soient entendues par les décideurs / preneurs de décision. Au travers du rapport annuel de l'Observatoire des mines, nous contrôlons et évaluons la réponse apportée par la communauté internationale au problème global des mines et des restes explosifs de guerre. Nous plaidons pour : L'adhésion universelle au Traité d'interdiction des mines et à la Convention sur les armes à sous-munitions; La mise en œuvre complète et le monitoring de ces deux traités; Le financement adéquat du déminage humanitaire et des programmes de sensibilisation aux risques, ainsi qu'une efficacité accrue dans ces domaines; L'assistance aux survivants, à leurs familles et leurs communautés et ce, de manière significative et durable. Nos activités : Nous participons et contribuons de manière experte aux mécanismes du Traité tels que les Réunions des États parties et les Réunions intersessionnelles des Comités Permanents. Nous nous prononçons contre et condamnons l'utilisation des mines et des armes à sous-munitions et appelons les États non parties à adhérer aux traités. Afin de garder les problématiques des mines et des armes à sous-munitions au plus haut à l'agenda des gouvernements, nous entreprenons des actions auprès des médias, du grand public et entretenons des contacts directs avec les gouvernements. Nous menons un travail de recherche et produisons le rapport de l’Observatoire des mines qui a pour objectif de surveiller la mise en œuvre et le respect des dispositions du Traité ainsi que d’évaluer les efforts entrepris par la communauté internationale pour résoudre le problème des mines et restes explosifs de guerre. 1, record 1, French, - Campagne%20internationale%20pour%20interdire%20les%20mines

In 1910, Ginn founded an International School of Peace in Boston whose purpose was to educate "the people of all nations to a full knowledge of the waste and destruction of war and of preparation for war, its evil effects on present social conditions and on the well-being of future generations and to promote international justice and the brotherhood of man... "Later that year, the School was converted into the World Peace Foundation. 1, record 3, English, - World%20Peace%20Foundation
