Roundtable on Humanitarian Demining: Can We Stop the Slaughter of Innocents?
Director: Richard L. Garwin
February 1, 1998 - March 1, 1998
This roundtable took stock of the existing effort in the United States (military and nonmilitary) and through the United Nations to reduce the huge number of civilian casualties from antipersonnel mines. Sesions focused on technological opportunities to lower the cost of removal and organizational needs to improve coordination of the international effort. Participants considered the possible use of economic instruments to promote innovation and better use of demining technologies in the field.
