NEWS RELEASE Office of External Communications Houston, TX 77204-5017 Fax; 713/743-8199 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 12, 2002 Contact : Leticia Konigsberg 713/743-8152 (office) 713/617-7143 (pager) lkonigsberg@uh.edu INDIVIDUAL IMPACT ON SOCIAL, POLITICAL CHANGE Jody Williams, Nobel Laureate for Peace (1997), and chief spokesperson and founding coordinator of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines will deliver the Graduate School of Social Work Second Annual Jenkins Distinguished Lecture Thursday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the University of Houston Cullen Performance Hall. She is one of only three American women who have received the Nobel Peace Prize and only one of 10 women worldwide to be bestowed with the honor. The lecture is designed to bring to the University of Houston and the Houston community speakers who are nationally and internationally known for their expertise on political and public policy issues. According to Williams landmines kill or maim nearly 18,000 people each year and many of the victims are children. The majority of landmine victims lives in poor countries and has limited access to the medical treatment, physical therapy and psychological care necessary for survivors. The victims of landmines are not just statistics, says Williams.

44. Jody Williams | The Progressive Media Project Let's prepare for peace. jody williams shared the 1997 nobel Peace Prizewith the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (www.icbl.org). http://www.progressive.org/Media Project 2/mpwm1502.html

May 15, 2002 Women need stronger role in global peace efforts By Jody Williams May 24 is International Women's Day for Peace and Disarmament. As a woman active on these issues for the past 20 years, I firmly believe in the power of women to build a different, more secure world. We are generally viewed as "idealists" who "of course" work for a peaceful ideal, compared to the "realist" men who dominate the military and power politics of the world. In the lexicon of the realist, if you want peace, you must prepare for war. It is this mentality that must change. Women must play a more significant role if we are to make sustained progress toward disarmament and real peace. Right now, the challenges facing the global community are greater than at any moment since the end of the Cold War. We cannot allow the campaign against terrorism to camouflage the dangerous increase in militarism around the world. We cannot allow ourselves to be labeled and marginalized as "idealists" for questioning this militarism, which costs the American public almost $1 billion a day. When I question militarism, I do not disparage the military personnel who put their lives on the line when they are commanded to do so. I do question, however, those who formulate a reckless policy.

45. What Will The President's Landmine Legacy Be? By Jody Williams jody williams shared the 1997 nobel Peace Prize with the InternationalCampaign to Ban Landmines. Copyright 1999, jody williams. http://www.progressive.org/mpwilliams1298.htm

December 1998 What will the president's landmine legacy be? By Jody Williams One year ago, on December 3-4, representatives from 122 countries descended on Ottawa, Canada, to sign the historic Mine Ban Treaty. Unfortunately, the United States was not among the signers. Just a few days later in Oslo, Norway, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the 1997 Nobel Prize for Peace to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines and to me. The committee said we were responsible for pushing the ban on the production, trade, use and stockpiling of antipersonnel landmines and moving it "from a vision to a feasible reality." Taking stock one year later, we note that the International Campaign to Ban Landmines is scoring unprecedented victories and has already had a great impact in reversing the landmine crisis. Mine exports have slowed to an almost undetectable trickle, dozens of nations no longer produce landmines and millions of stockpiled mines have already been destroyed. The Mine Ban Treaty will become binding international law more quickly than any other major treaty in history. On this first anniversary of the treaty signing, 55 countries have already ratified the treaty. Those that have ratified are not content to just see it enter into force on March 1, 1999. They are already preparing to hold the first meeting of parties to the treaty in the early days of May in Maputo, Mozambique. At that meeting the International Campaign to Ban Landmines will present its first report of the landmine monitor, a unique civil society-based system for monitoring the treaty. But there are few illusions about the magnitude of the work before us: Antipersonnel landmines kill or maim nearly 26,000 people each year.

Her lecture is entitled "The Global Dimensions of Security," a relevant and fitting topic, given this year's Colloquium theme on The Search for Security in an Age of Anxiety . Following last fall's terrorist attacks, this search became the great challenge facing America and the world. As Campaign Ambassador for and founding coordinator of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), Williams has served as strategist and chief spokesperson for the campaign. She has worked with governments worldwide, the United Nations, and the International Committee of the Red Cross, leading the crusade that resulted in the 1997 international treaty banning antipersonnel landmines. She continues to speak on behalf of ICBL worldwide and recently has traveled to Afghanistan. Prior to her work with ICBL, Williams worked to build public awareness about U.S. policy toward Central America. From 1986 to 1992, she developed and directed humanitarian relief projects as deputy director of the Los Angeles-based Medical Aid for El Salvador, developing a network for hospitals in 20 U.S. cities that donated medical care to Salvadoran children who were hurt in the war in that country. Williams also coordinated the Nicaragua-Honduras Education Project in the mid 1980s, and has taught English as a Second Language in Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Washington, D.C. She is one of only ten women who have received the Nobel Peace Prize.

Return to List of Contents ICBL and Jody Williams Receive Nobel Peace Prize Disarmament Diplomacy Issue No 21 In Oslo on 10 December, the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded jointly to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) and its Coordinator, Jody Williams. Rae McGrath received the prize on behalf of the ICBL. Presenting the award, Nobel Committee Chair Francis Sejersted stated: You have not only dared to tackle your task, but also have proved that the impossible is possible." Extracts from the acceptance speeches follow. Rae McGrath "The International Campaign will do everything in its power in the coming months to achieve a legally-binding ban by December 1998. To this end, we, as Nobel Peace Prize laureates, issue a challenge directly to the heads of State of each signatory country: to make sure that your country is among the first 40 nations to ratify the Ottawa Treaty. ... All those States who failed to sign this Treaty have failed humanity. Size, power and economy are irrelevant. They are intransigent and uncaring in the face of compelling humanitarian, economic and environmental evidence that anti-personnel mines should be banned." Jody Williams "This campaign was born out of the minefields. This campaign was born of the humanitarian work of the mine-clearers and those putting limbs back on victims... They recognized the dire necessity of going to the root of the problem, and the root of the problem is the indiscriminate killer of civilians: the landmine...

Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: John Del Cecato October 10, 1997 Group Nominated by Rep. McGovern Wins 1997 Nobel Peace Prize (Washington, DC) U.S. Representative James P. McGovern (D-Worcester) released the following statement today congratulating the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) and its coordinator Ms. Jody Williams on winning the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize. McGovern nominated the ICBL and Jody Williams for the Nobel Peace Prize in January. Said Congressman McGovern: "I can think of no other group more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) and its coordinator, Ms. Jody Williams. I believe that the ICBL is the most significant international grassroots disarmament movement of my lifetime, and perhaps even of this century. The ICBL grew out of the remarkable joining of veterans of recent international conflicts in particular our own Vietnam Veterans of America, the survivors of landmine explosions, and humanitarian groups that ministered to their suffering. Rather than remaining victims of war and violence, they launched an international crusade for peace. For these reasons, and many others, in January of this year, I wrote to the Nobel Committee and nominated the ICBL and Jody Williams for the Peace Prize. "I personally witnessed the human, economic, and political devastation caused by landmines during my visits to El Salvador in the 1980s and 1990s. I will never forget the lines of former combatants, children, and campesino farmers missing limbs after encountering a landmine hidden in fields and on footpaths. I am enormously grateful to the United Nations which coordinated efforts inside El Salvador to remove the landmines that were laid during the twelve years of civil war that poor country endured.

Biografies Dones Premi Nobel WILLIAMS, Jody Nascuda el 9 d'octubre de 1950 als Estats Units, va fundar el 1991 la Campanya Internacional Contra les Mines Antipersones ICBL en llengua anglesa, una ONG que ha portat a terme una intensíssima campanya internacional per eliminar els 110 milions de mines antipersones escampades a 70 països arreu del món, sobre tot en els països més pobres, escenaris de guerres les conseqüències de les quals es perpetuen amb més de 26.000 víctimes cada any, especialment nens i nenes. La Campanya, en la qual han participat més de mil organitzacions de tot el món, ha estat guardonada amb el Premi Nobel de la Pau 1997, poc abans de la ratificació a Otawa del tractat signat a Oslo, un tractat que EEUU i Rússia es neguen a signar. L'import del premi, uns 140 milions de ptes., s'ha dedicat a la creació d'un fons internacional, amb aportacions dels fabricants, per la destrucció de les mines plantades, i a la continuació de la lluita per la prohibició de fabricar-les.
