The Obama Administration should encourage the US Senate to ratify the 1997 Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction (or Mine Ban Treaty).

A bi-partisan super-majority of US Senators have expressed their support to join 160 other countries and the international community in saying good riddance landmines.
