20061017 Landmine Challenges
WORKSHOP REPORT “LANDMINE CHALLENGES TO HUMANITY & ENVIRONMENT” Imphal, MANIPUR (INDIA) 17 October 2006 Manipur Committee for Social Concern (MCSC) came into being in 2000 to work to bring about peace for the people of Manipur. It brings together well qualified academics, intellectu- als and activists. It conducts seminars and field work with local voluntary contributions and aims to spread awareness to bring a solution to various contentious issues. The Indian Institute for Peace, Disarmament and Environmental Protection (IIPDEP) was founded in August 1993. It is a non-political, non-profit NGO Research, whose main ob- jectives are public education and awareness raising in the field of peace and disarmament. IIPDEP has been part of the Indian Campaign to Ban Landmines (Indian CBL) since March 1995, essentially conducting public education and awareness development activities in this respect. To date, the IIPDEP has organized 48 regional seminars and mine risk education (MRE) workshops in various state capitals and in volatile regions such as Jammu & Kashmir and Northeast India. It has also organized MRE workshops in villages along the India- Pakistan border. Geneva Call is a neutral, international humanitarian NGO formed under Swiss law and launched in March 2000 with the objective of engaging armed non-State actors (NSAs) worldwide to adhere to a total ban on anti-personnel (AP) mines and respect other humanitar- ian norms. To facilitate this process, Geneva Call provides a mechanism whereby NSAs, which are not eligible to accede to treaties, can commit to a mine ban by signing a “Deed of Commitment Under Geneva Call for Adherence to a Total Ban on Anti-Personnel Mines and for Cooperation in Mine Action”. -

Translator’s Introduction Orientalists have, from the very beginning, propagated that Islām is a violent religion that was spread by the sword. This myth is even promulgated today albeit in a different form and context. At present, the ‘violence’ of Islām is portrayed by small fanatic groups who kill innocent civilians. Ironically, these extremist groups like the Tālibān, kill more Muslims than people following any other creed. -
