Divesting
in Landmine Producers
Activists seeking a ban on antipersonnel landmines have employed many
tactics over the years including engaging companies that produce landmines.
During the 1990s, campaigners in the U.S. were successful in compelling
many arms manufacturers to stop producing landmines. Recently, activists
in Europe have joined the efforts of U.S. organizations and sought to
force banks and other organizations with financial assets in landmine
producers to sell their stakes.
