    Ridding the World of Landmines    
 
 
orty countries have ratified the Ottawa Treaty to ban antipersonnel land mines so the treaty will be law in early 1999. The United States, so far has refused to even sign the treaty, let alone make it law. Paradoxically, the U.S. reserves the right to lay mines anywhere, even as it supports mine removal and humanitarian relief for the victims of mine warfare.
