Jody Williams 1997 Nobel Peace Laureate Jody Williams, the 1997 co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, was born in Vermont in 1950. She learned to abhorinjustice at an early age from fellow schoolchildren, who unfairly picked on her disabled brother. Like many teenagers of her generation, she also developed an aversion to the war then being waged in Vietnam. Enticed by a leaflet she had received on the street one day, Williams attended a meeting about human rights violations taking place in El Salvador. With her recent experiences in Mexico, she developed an immediate and passionate interest in U.S. policy toward Central America. Transforming that passion into a career, she served from 1984 to 1986 as coordinator of the Nicaragua-Honduras Education Project, leading fact-finding delegations to the region. From 1986 to 1992, she also developed and directed humanitarian relief pro jects as the deputy director of the Los Angeles-based Medical Aid for El Salvador. In October 1992, the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) was formally launched by the VVAF, Handicap International, Human Rights Watch, medico international, Mines Advisory Group, and Physicians for Human Rights. These six groups, which beca me the original steering committee of the ICBL, issued a "Joint Call to Ban Antipersonnel Landmines" that included putting an end to the use, production, trade, and stockpiling of antipersonnel landmines. They also urged governments to increase resources for humanitarian mine clearance and for victim assistance.

98-11-06: NOBEL PRIZE BOOSTED DRIVE TO BAN LANDMINES Landmines don't discriminate. They kill or maim civilians just as easily as they do soldiers. They cost as little as $3 apiece to manufacture, yet up to $1,000 apiece to remove. Consequently, an estimated 110 million landmines remain embedded in the soil of 68 countries, with 2 million more buried each year. They claim 26,000 victims annually, including many curious children. In 1991 Bobby Muller, president of the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation (VVAF), vowed to do something and launched the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) the following year. Less than six years later, Canada invited world leaders to convene in Ottawa in December 1997 to sign a comprehensive treaty banning the use, production, transfer and stockpiling of landmines. More than 100 countries attended. Several military powers, including the United States, remained uncommitted; they cited concerns that a total landmine ban would imperil their soldiers, many of whom were stationed in known combat zones. The Norwegian Nobel Committee was a keen observer of this process. In October 1997 it awarded the Nobel Peace Prize jointly to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines and its coordinator, Jody Williams, stating that they had "started a process which in the space of a few years changed a ban on anti-personnel mines from a vision to a feasible reality." The committee's decision was also intended to pressure the U.S. and other recalcitrant countries to endorse the proposed treaty. On Dec. 4, 1997, Muller's vision for a landmine-free world was affirmed. One hundred and twenty-one countries including nearly every state in Latin America, Africa and the European Union became signatories to the Ottawa Treaty. Each country must ratify the treaty, and six months after the 40th country does so, the landmine ban will become international law. This event should occur by 1999. Notably absent from the treaty's signatories were the U.S., China and most nations in the Middle East. Russia, which had originally said it would support the ban, also did not sign. In May 1998, Muller and the VVAF launched the Campaign for a Landmine-Free World, which will help fulfill the goals of the Ottawa Treaty. Jody Williams Jody Williams, the co-recipient of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, learned to abhor injustice at an early age from fellow schoolchildren, who unfairly picked on her disabled brother. Like many teenagers of her generation, she also developed an aversion to the war then being waged in Vietnam. Born in Vermont in 1950, Williams attended the University of Vermont in Burlington and later taught English as a Second Language in Mexico for two years. It was her first exposure to extreme poverty. From Mexico, she moved to Washington and earned a master's degree in international relations from Johns Hopkins University in 1984. Enticed by a leaflet she had received on the street one day, Williams attended a meeting about human rights violations taking place in El Salvador. She developed an immediate and passionate interest in U.S. policy toward Central America and worked on humanitarian projects for the next several years. In late 1991, Bobby Muller, president of the VVAF, asked Williams to coordinate a new initiative to ban landmines worldwide. As chief strategist of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), Williams wrote and spoke extensively on the landmine problem and the need for a movement to ban them entirely. Her audiences included the United Nations, the European Parliament and the Organization of African Unity. Working without an office or staff, and relying on fax machines and electronic mail, Williams ultimately convinced more than 1,000 non-governmental organizations from 60-plus countries to support the campaign. The ICBL gained tremendous visibility when Diana, Princess of Wales, became a vocal landmine critic and visited landmine victims in Angola and Bosnia ‹ two of the most heavily mined countries in the world in the months before her death. "People have this idea that land-mined fields are set off with barbed wire like they are in World War II movies, but that's not how it is," Williams told a reporter for Vogue magazine. "They put them where people go. They put them next to watering holes, along the banks of the river, in the fields. It is not realistic for people to stay out of those areas.² In recognition of their efforts, the Norwegian Nobel Committee named Williams and the ICBL co-recipients of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize. While she no longer works for the VVAF, Williams continues to assist the ICBL as its international ambassador. Bobby Muller Bobby Muller attends the Nobel Peace Laureates Conference as co-founder of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, co-recipient of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize. Robert O. (Bobby) Muller, born in 1946, enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and served as an infantry officer in Vietnam in 1968 and 1969. A combat injury left him a paraplegic. He returned to the U.S. and became an active opponent of the Vietnam War, as well as a crusader for veterans' rights. In 1974 he earned a second degree from Hofstra University, this one in law. In 1978, he founded the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA). As president of VVA, he led a veterans delegation to Vietnam in 1981 the first such delegation to visit the country since the end of the war and spearheaded efforts to establish court review of veterans' benefits and preserve and expand veterans' counseling services. In 1980, he helped establish the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation (VVAF), an international humanitarian organization providing aid to the victims of war, and became its president in 1987. Through the VVAF, he led the effort to create the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, also founding a similar U.S. group, and most recently, the Campaign for a Landmine-Free World. Muller regularly lectures at universities and colleges on the lessons learned from the Vietnam experience and the relevance of those lessons for the U.S. role in the international community.

Nobel Laureate Jody Williams on Joy
When I was a student at the University of Vermont 26 years ago ... I didn't have a clue about what I was going to do. Some of my friends did. Some of my friends came out of school, started to be teachers or lawyers or whatever and that's what they are today and they're confident and sure that that was the right thing.... I didn't even come to graduation because I didn't know what I was graduating from or to.... I went [on] to the School for International Training, where I got a degree in Spanish and English, and I went to Mexico. I was still confused, but I was teaching English in Mexico.... And I still didn't know what I was doing, and I came back to the United States and for three years, I was a temporary secretary in Washington.... I was happy doing it because it gave me the space to figure out what I wanted to do. Then I was leafleted at a subway stop, and the leaflet said, "El Salvador: Another Vietnam?"

    Nobel Laureate's Long Trip From Vermont Farm to Fame
    Scott Baldauf, Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor PUTNEY, VT. At her farmhouse in Putney, Vt., Jody Williams keeps farmer's hours, rising well before the sun pokes through the red maples and glints off her expanding beaver pond. ACTIVIST JODY WILLIAMS
    (TOBY TALBOT/ AP) But while her neighbors are warming up tractors for baling hay, Ms. Williams is firing off yet another e-mail to colleagues in Paris or Phnom Penh, urging yet another nation to join a global ban on land mines. After six years, the hard work is finally paying off. The awarding last week of the Nobel Peace Prize to Williams and members of the far-flung International Campaign to Ban Landmines represents a victory of individual idealism and grass-roots activism in an era when slick special interests often seem to dominate in the portals of power. While past efforts to ban land mines had stalled in the United Nations and disparate parliaments, Williams and her colleagues bypassed the halls of power to build public opinion from the ground up. Her motto: "Have cause, will travel." Her tool of choice: a moral conscience. To be sure, Williams is no angel. In interviews, her blunt language often lapses into cursing. But if she feels out of place among past Nobel laureates such as Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, and the Dalai Lama, her supporters say that her campaign has done more than anything else to ban a weapon that kills or maims 24,000 people a year, most of them civilians.

It's not fair,
Jody Williams
Nobel peace award: Indian experts say
that responsible armies should not be
targeted by the peaceniks
R. PRASANNAN in New Delhi J ody Williams has a noble dream of a mineless world. Sadly, mindless terrorists would spoil the Nobel dream. Life in such a world would be queer. Soldiers would not be allowed to protect their country's borders with mines. But mercenaries in Kashmir, caring two hoots for Geneva conventions, Vienna vows and Ottawa oaths, would have them in plenty. The peacenik hysteria built up by Williams' International Campaign to Ban Landmines, a coalition of NGOs, has derailed a process of genuine landmine disarmament.
Landmines are scourge on the scorched earth, though not in India or Pakistan who have fought three wars in five decades (see box). "Unlike a bomb or artillery shell which explodes when it approaches or hits its target, a landmine lies dormant until a person, vehicle or animal triggers off its firing mechanism. Landmines are blind weapons that cannot distinguish between the footfall of a soldier and that of an old woman gathering firewood. They do not recognise any ceasefire and long after the hostilities have ended, they can maim or kill," say Red Cross officials.
The statistics given out by the campaigners are alarming. Some four million mines have been planted in Cambodia in the past 25 years. Every month 60 people are killed or injured. There are one million mines in Kuwait. Libya has extensive minefields dating from World War II. One out of every 236 people in Cambodia is an amputee due to a mine blast. Large expanses of land in northern Somalia are permanent no-go areas because of mines buried there. At the rate of 30 sq km a year, it would take 4,300 years to clear mines manually from only 20 per cent of Afghan territory.

Chapter Three: What Does It Mean To Be a Peacemaker? I remember trembling with rage and fear but not questioning for a moment that the right thing to do was to defend Michael. That was because I had defended Stephen, my deaf brother. I think that that transferred to being angry when any larger power is "mean" to any weaker power. That translated into wanting to find ways to "defend" them. That wanting to "defend" them has translated into the work that I have done over the past ten years. -Jody Williams Objectives Students will be able to define the concept and dimensions of peace.

Jody Williams visitou a OEA, no dia 17 de fevereiro, para fazer uma apresentação junto ao Conselho Permanente sobre o progresso alcançado pela campanha anti-minas desde a assinatura da Convenção de Ottawa em 1997. A Convenção, que entra em vigor no dia primeiro de março, proíbe o uso, estoque, produção e transferência das minas anti-pessoais e prevê a destruição das mesmas.

A maioria dos países das Américas assinaram a Convenção de Ottawa, com as exceções de Estados Unidos e Cuba. Dezesseis países já ratificaram a Convenção, comprovando, nas palavras de Jody Williams, "a liderança do hemisfério no combate às minas". Durante a sua apresentação frente ao Conselho Permanente, Jody Williams manifestou seu apoio ao acordo de paz assinado entre Peru e Equador e aplaudiu a disposição de ambos países de remover as minas da fronteira. Williams mostrou-se satisfeita com o pedido de ajuda apresentado à OEA pelo Equador. A ganhadora do Prêmio Nobel espera que ambos países venham a receber a colaboração da Organização na remoção das minas.

    Reaction to the Award of the Nobel Peace Prize to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines and its Coordinator, Jody Williams, of Putney, Vermont
    Oct. 10, 1997 [Following are the comments of Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who was among public officials who wrote to the Nobel Committee in support of the nomination of Jody Williams and the International Campaign To Ban Landmines (ICBL) for the Peace Prize. Leahy long has been the leading official U.S. advocate of an anti-personnel landmine ban and is the author of initial U.S. steps toward that goal, including the world’s first export ban. He and Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., have introduced the new Leahy-Hagel bill that would bar new U.S. anti-personnel landmine deployments beginning Jan. 1, 2000. Counterpart House legislation has been introduced by Reps. Lane Evans, D-Ill., Jack Quinn, R-N.Y.] There is no greater honor than the Nobel Peace Prize, and there is no more deserving recipient than the International Campaign to Ban Landmines and its coordinator, Jody Williams. This extraordinary coalition of organizations representing civil society on every continent was instrumental in first putting the spotlight on the landmine problem and spurring governments to act. For the past seven years the ICBL has criss-crossed the globe, building support for a ban on anti-personnel mines. The ICBL’s success is inseparable from the vision and vigor of its people, like Bobby Muller of the Vietnam Veterans of American Foundation, who more than anyone embodies the inspiration behind the campaign and who first sought my support for a ban back in 1991. We have worked as partners ever since. I spoke with Bobby when he got the news this morning, and I wish I could have seen the look on his face.

    CFDT, FO, CGC, FSU, UNSA : Toutes les centrales déjà reçues par les ministres dénoncent une dégradation des retraites, programmée dans le projet gouvernemental.

Staff The Nobel Peace Prize for 1997 The Nobel Lecture given by The Nobel Peace Prize Laureate 1997 - Jody Williams (Oslo, December 10, 1997) Your Majesties, Honorable Members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Excellencies and Honored Guests: It is a privilege to be here today, together with other representatives of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, to receive jointly the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize. Our appreciation goes to those who nominated us and to the Nobel Committee for chosing this year to recognize, from among so many other nominees who have worked diligently for peace, the work of the International Campaign. The desire to ban land mines is not new. In the late 1970s, the International Committee of the Red Cross, along with a handful of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), pressed the world to look at weapons that were particularly injurious and/or indiscriminate. One of the weapons of special concern was landmines. People often ask why the focus on this one weapon. How is the landmine different from any other conventional weapon?
