One human rights problem that you have been involved with from the beginning in conceptualizing and developing programs to solve is the land mine issue. You had gone to Cambodia and reported on that. You were also involved in the ultimate success of the treaty. In World War II, eighteen percent of those who were killed were civilians and eighty-two percent were combatants. That is shifting towards the end of this century, where it is now eighty percent civilians.
Warfare is fought very intimately in the villages, in the community.
Land mines became a very useful weapon in that sort of war because land mines are a weapon in which you can control people. You can control movement. They're usually used as a defensive weapon, but you can also seal off certain areas and keep yourself protected and keep communities from leaving because you want to control those communities. Land mines are insidious weapons. When you aim an AK-47 or a piece of artillery, you know what you are aiming at.
