The Flaws of the Land Mines Ban

The Flaws of the Ottawa Convention, National Security Policy Proceedings, Spring 2011. "The Ottawa Convention looks likely to become another ABM Treaty or International Criminal Court: a commitment made by one administration that—because it poses dangers to our security and our sovereignty—will force a sensible future administration to spend a good deal of time, energy, and political capital setting it right. Indeed, if we are not careful now, it will become a commitment from which any future administration will find it very difficult to escape."
