In January 1997, her advocacy helped build the political momentum behind the Mine Ban Treaty, signed by 122 nations that December. The HALO Trust — the world's largest humanitarian mine-clearance organization — is still clearing minefields today. MORE AT MINESWEEPER.ORG This app is part of minesweeper.org.
