Nobel Peace Prize Award

Tun Channareth in Nobel Peace Prize Award ceremony in 1997

Cambodian survivors were very active in the International Campaign to Ban Landmines and the Cluster Munition Coalition. In 1997, civil society and 122 states together won the Ottawa Treaty to ban landmines. The ICBL with its co-ordinator Jody Williams received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997.

In December 2008, 94 countries signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions in Oslo. On 1 August 2010, it became international law, and Laos hosts the first meeting of States Parties in November 2010.

The aime of the treaties is:
  • to ban the use, production, stockpiling, and transfer of anti-personnel landmines and of cluster munitions
  • to clear all contaminated land
  • to help survivors

Cambodia, along with Afghanistan, Iraq, Columbia, and Burma, are severely affected by landmines. Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Lebanon, and Afghanistan have serious cluster bomb problems. Throughout Cambodia you can see many people and families affected by these horrible weapons of suffering. Under the Peace Table, there are examples of mines and clusters.
