USCBL Represented in Bangkok at UN-Sponsored Global Conference on Landmines USCBL Coordinator Gina Coplon-Newfield traveled to Bangkok, Thailand in mid September 2003 for the 5th Meeting of States Parties to the Mine Ban Treaty. ĘThis meeting brought together more than 500 government representatives and more than 200 NGO representatives from more than 120 countries to discuss the global landmines problem, success to date, and work yet to be done. ĘCoplon-Newfield met with government officials from countries that have a strong relationship with the United States, and she urged these governments to put more pressure on the US government to improve its landmine policies. ĘShe also met with NGO representatives and discussed ways in which other country campaigns can work together with the USCBL in urging the US government to improve its landmine policies.
