 Campaign Against Landmines - New Zealand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Campaign has the potential to deliver humanitarian results of a magnitude similar to the Ottawa Mine Ban Treaty, on the basis of cooperation between NGOs and governments around the world.
The NZ campaign against landmines was started in 1992 and has achieved successes beyond those of many other NGOs, while never gaining a particularly high public profile (except by association with the late Princess Di's anti-landmine activities).
It attracted more supporters when it was campaigning to change NZ government policy, but tended to lose them when the tasks in hand were the lower-key grind of fundraising for victim support, persuading Pacific nations to ratify the Ottawa Treaty, monitoring Treaty adherence, or educating the general public on the scourge of landmines.
