Popis:	Just as the 19th century closed with the 1899 First International Peace Conference, held in The Hague, the Netherlands, calling for a ban on certain weapons, such as dum dum bullets and chemical gases, so is the 20th century coming to an end with the entering into force of the Ottawa Treaty banning antipersonnel landmines. What is remarkable about the two agreements is that they were created through similar processes: each lacked the support of many major state powers, each was negotiated by majority voting, and each was achieved in a very short time frame.
