Since the anti-personnel mine-ban treaty was adopted in September 1997, mine action has helped an ever-increas- ing number of civilians reclaim their lives and restore their livelihoods. The treaty has helped mobilize the international community’s response to landmines and their impact on people. It is a testament to what can be achieved when we collectively take on a grave humanitarian and development challenge. The United Nations pledges to assist mine-affected countries in meeting their obligations under the anti-personnel mine-ban treaty and other international norms related to mine action. The United Nations continues to clear areas known or believed to be contaminated by mines and explosive remnants of war, assist victims, destroy stockpiled mines, and educate girls, boys, women and men about the dangers of these devices. This pledge is manifested in many of the mine action initiatives presented in this 13th edition of the Portfolio of Mine Action Projects. While the international community celebrates the 10th anniversary of the entry into force of the anti-personnel mine- ban treaty this year at the Cartagena Summit for a Mine-Free World, it is important that we continue to strengthen the international legislative base that underpins global mine action efforts. This includes the Convention on Certain Con- ventional Weapons’ Protocol V on Explosive Remnants of War and the 2007 Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, a key instrument for mine survivors. I encourage all countries to ratify these two very important documents, the goals of which are reinforced through many of the projects in this portfolio. The international community is also stepping up its efforts to address the unacceptable impact of cluster munitions. The Convention on Cluster Munitions was adopted in Dublin on 30 May 2008 and signed on 3 December the same year. The Convention enters into force six months after the 30th state has submitted its instrument of ratification. Proj- ects included in this portfolio will help countries clear millions of unexploded munitions, which are threatening people’s lives and jeopardizing development efforts. The Secretary-General consistently calls upon the international community to address the horrendous humanitarian effects of cluster munitions. Some of the beneficiary countries included in the portfolio have well-advanced mine action programmes, while others have begun tackling landmines and explosive remnants of war only recently. Regardless of the stage of development, each of them requires sustained support from governments and donors alike, in order for all of us to move forward and succeed. I wish all involved in this noble endeavor to sustain their commitment to end the suffering caused by landmines and explosive remnants of war. Alain Le Roy United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations November 2009 iii 2010 Portfolio Highlights 27 countries, territories, missions This 13th edition of the annual Portfolio of Mine Action Projects features overviews and project outlines for 27 countries, territories or missions affected by landmines and explosive remnants of war. 277 projects There are 277 projects in the 2010 portfolio. Africa accounts for the largest number: 103. 95 appealing agencies; one in five projects from national NGOs The 2010 portfolio continues to receive a high level of participation by an array of appealing agencies, including national authorities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations and UN agencies, funds and pro- grammes. A total of 95 appealing agencies submitted proposals. More than two-fifths of the projects were submitted by either international or national NGOs. National NGOs submitted about 20 percent of all projects for 2010, either individually or as a partner appealing agency. International NGOs alone or in partnership with other institutions account for about 25 percent of all projects. Record shortfall The combined budgets of all projects in the 2010 portfolio total US $589 million. So far, about US $24 million has been secured, leaving a record US $565 million shortfall as of November 2009. Asia has the largest shortfall at US $372 million. Africa ranks second, with a US $167 million shortfall. Clearance activities account for 68 percent of the funding shortfall—US $384 million. Projects that cover more than one pillar of mine action (which are labeled as “multiple” and often address capacity building and coordination) account for about 20 percent of the overall funding shortfall. Afghanistan has requested the largest amount of funds—US $244 million—in this year’s portfolio. The smallest amount requested—US $327,000—is for operations in Thailand. iv Portfolio of Mine Action Projects: Questions and Answers What is the portfolio? The Portfolio of Mine Action Projects is a resource tool and reference document for donors, policy-makers, advocates, and national and international mine action implementers. The country and territory-specific proposals in the portfolio reflect strategic responses developed in the field to address all aspects of the problem of landmines and explosive rem- nants of war (ERW). This country and territory-based approach aims to present as comprehensive a picture as possible of the full range of mine action needs in particular countries and thematic issues related to mine action. The portfolio ideally reflects projects developed by mine- and ERW-affected countries and territories based on their priorities and strategies; the approaches are endorsed by national authorities. The portfolio does not automatically entail full-scale direct mine action assistance by the United Nations, but is in essence a tool for collaborative resource mobilization, coordination and planning of mine action activities involving partners and stakeholders. A country portfolio coordinator (CPC) leads each country portfolio team and coordinates the submission of proposals to the portfolio’s headquarters team. While the majority of the CPCs are UN officials, this role is increasingly being assumed by national authorities. The country portfolio teams include representatives from national and local authorities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the United Nations and the private sector. Locally based donor representatives are invited to attend prepara- tion meetings. Each portfolio chapter contains a synopsis of the scope of the landmine and ERW problem, a description of how mine action is coordinated, and a snapshot of local mine action strategies. Many of the strategies complement or are inte- grated into broader development and humanitarian frameworks such as national development plans, the UN develop- ment assistance frameworks and national poverty reduction plans. Which parts of the United Nations participate in the portfolio process? Fourteen UN departments, agencies, programmes and funds are involved in mine action. Each may choose to sub- mit project proposals to the portfolio through the field-based preparation process. UN headquarters entities submit global mine action project proposals reflecting the budgets for their respective core headquarters-based activities. The UN headquarters portfolio team, based in New York, consists of representatives from the UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS), as coordinator; the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

    FACTSHEETS How to implement victim assistance obligations? UNDER THE MINE BAN TREATY OR THE CONVENTION ON CLUSTER MUNITIONS Concrete actions to improve the quality of life of victims and persons with disabilities VICTIM ASSISTANCE FACTSHEETS INTRODUCTION Assistance to victims of mine/explosive remnants of war (ERW) is an obligation for States Parties to the Mine Ban Treaty (MBT) and the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM). The Cartagena Action Plan and the Vientiane Action Plan include specific commitments that States Parties have agreed on to implement their victim assistance (VA) obligations effectively, in particular to improve the quality of life of victims. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) provides the most comprehensive framework to address the needs & advances the rights of all persons with disabilities (PwD), including mine/ERW survivors. Regional frameworks on disability and development are also relevant, such as the Incheon Strategy to “Make the Right Real” for Persons with Disability in Asia and the Pacificand the African Decade of Persons with Disabilities. OBJECTIVE OF THESE FACTSHEETS The Victim Assistance Factsheets were developed by Handicap International (HI) as a tool to provide concise information on what victim assistance (VA) is and on how to translate it into concrete actions that have the potential to improve the quality of life of mine/ERW victims and persons with disabilities. The factsheets target States Parties affected by mine/ERW, States Parties in a position to provide assistance, as well as organizations of survivors and other PwD, and other civil society - and international organizations. METHODOLOGY The factsheets build on a review of existing literature on VA, Disability and Inclusive Development, including publications such as the WHO Community-Based Rehabilitation Guidelines, sector and country-specific publications by HI, as well as others by the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention Implementation Support Unit, the ICRC and other organizations.

International Campaign to Ban Landmines The International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) is committed to the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty (or “Ottawa Conven- tion”) as the best framework for ending the use, production, stockpiling, and transfer of antipersonnel mines and for destroying stockpiles, clearing mined areas, and assisting affected communities. The ICBL calls for universal adherence to the Mine Ban Treaty and its full implementation by all, including: • No more use, production, transfer, and stockpiling of antipersonnel landmines by any actor under any circumstances; • Rapid destruction of all remaining stockpiles of antipersonnel landmines; • More efficient clearance and destruction of all emplaced landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW); and • Fulfillment of the rights and needs of all landmine and ERW victims.

  • Bower Entrapping Gulliver SS Final No Copyedits
    Bower, Adam. 2020. “Entrapping Gulliver: The United States and the Antipersonnel Mine Ban.” Security Studies 29 (1): forthcoming. Accepted for publication 15 August 2019 In 2014, the Obama administration announced that the United States would almost entirely adopt the global ban on antipersonnel mines, despite longstanding military and political opposition. To explain this puzzling outcome, I expand upon recent accounts of rhetorical entrapment in which norm-promoting actors seek to compel change in a target actor by exploiting tensions between the target’s words and actions. Tracing US policy change over the past 25 years, I show how transnational civil society and domestic political elites strategically deployed factual and normative claims to draw US officials into an iterative debate concerning the humanitarian harm of antipersonnel mines. Successive US administrations have sought to mitigate external critique by gradually conceding to the discursive framing of pro-ban advocates without endorsing the international treaty prohibiting the weapons. These rhetorical shifts stimulated a search for alternative technologies and incremental changes to military doctrine, tactics, and procurement that constrained US policy choices culminating in the effective abandonment of antipersonnel mines despite ongoing military operations around the globe. In 2014, the United States announced that it would eliminate antipersonnel (AP) landmines from its military arsenal, with the exception of its ongoing security commitments on the Korean Peninsula.1 President Obama further committed “to continue to work to find ways that would allow us to ultimately comply fully and accede to the Ottawa Convention,” the 1997 international legal instrument eliminating the weapons also known as the Mine Ban Treaty (MBT).2 With these acts, the administration sought to reverse long-standing US opposition to the global landmine prohibition.

Using a phenomenological approach to transnationalism and multi-sited ethnography, I explore different ways in which local experiences related to food production, consumption and exchange in the two countries, as well as local meanings of foods and plants, are connected at a transnational level. One of my key objectives is to deconstruct some of the binaries commonly addressed in the literature, such as global processes and local lives, modernity and tradition or competition and solidarity, and to demonstrate how they are all contextually and relationally entwined in people’s life- worlds.
