Summary
Core Theme
The Ottawa Process, spearheaded by the Canadian government, is an international campaign to ban anti-personnel landmines, which cause devastating humanitarian consequences and hinder post-conflict recovery.
Key Points
welcome to lesson six on land mines and
the Ottawa process which is another name
for the international campaign to ban
landmines so the Canadian government has
been very well known around the world
for taking the initiative on the land
mine or the Ottawa process so I'm going
to take just a few moments to explain
the success story before you hear from
the Diplomat who was very well involved
with it Earl turcotte who will be
landmines name approximately 500 people
every week and thousands more as Earl
turcotte talks about are maimed they in
fact he talks about how more people are
maimed and that those people then stay
in society and are reminder to their
losers about the costs of war the other
thing he talks about is how civilians
are more likely to be killed than
professional soldiers and how this is
against international law and against
the Geneva conventions
landmines also cost very little to buy
but are very expensive to remove here
you can see Engineers going through the sand
sand
and it's extremely tedious to try to get
rid of them and also highly dangerous
for every mine that's cleared at least
20 more are laid right now they're being
laid in Ukraine as Earl turcotte talks
about and people are not keeping track
of where they're laid so that destroys
the territory in the land for decades to come
come
approximately 110 million anti-personnel
so not anti-tank he makes a distinction
between anti-tank landmines and
anti-personnel they are in place in 60
the only mine known clearance techniques
are Illustrated here where they're using
metal detectors and hand brooms it's
very expensive and dangerous and we need
more higher technology so I'm hoping
people in the class that are in
engineering get interested in this
here you can see that there are more
than 300 types of landmines and they can
be confused for being little airplanes
or plastic toys and then young children
go into the fields to retrieve them and
uh here's
why who's obviously been made by
landmine and here's someone trying to
clear land mines so you can see it's
extremely difficult and landmines don't
distinguish between civilians and
between soldiers so they are against
international law
here you can see some people who are
inside the line of and and obviously the
lines can't be put up everywhere in
Cambodia in the tropical jungles or in
Ukraine it's unclear where they are
after the war after the ceasefire
can you think of less expensive ways
some of my students have suggested in
the past rolling these kind of robots
down but what if there's jungle what
about training mice or rats to clear the
land these are some ideas I hope that
the lecture by Earl turcotte motivates
you to and this is partly why he did it
because he was really excited about
talking to students that are in
Practical areas like nursing and
engineering and Aviation may be flying
planes so if you have any ideas just
think of them and maybe patent them
