Meeting with Nobel Peace Prize winner sister Denise Coghlan.

Wonderful meetings with the Nobel Peace Prize winner sister Denise Coghlan. That was a great honor to discuss the anti-landmine campaign and actions with a real role-model for our and the next generations.The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the international campaign against landmines initiated by sister Denise Coghlan and her coordinator Jody Williams.The choice of the Nobel Committee was motivated by two reasons:• he wanted to draw the world’s attention to the humanitarian crisis of anti-personnel mines;• he wished to salute the unique cooperation that has developed between governments and civil society to move humanity towards a world free of anti-personnel landmines. This meeting was held in Siem Reap at the Mindol Metta Karuna (A host structure of the Jesuit Order in Cambodia).The problem of anti-personnel landmines is a fundamentally humanitarian problem. These weapons of war kill in peacetime. Destined for soldiers, they kill and wound women and children. Dozens of civilians are still injured or killed every year by landmines and other unexploded ordnance that have been leftover from all the fighting. Large numbers of people continue to live in mined areas under the constant threat of these machines.Most victims still need medical, social and economic assistance and rehabilitation. Our generation can be the one, which will free the world from the landmines.
