New Chair of USCBL
Nov. 21, 2003

We are pleased to announce that Mary Wareham of Human Rights Watch is the new Chair of the US Campaign to Ban Landmines (USCBL). Over the past several years Wareham has coordinated and edited the Landmine Monitor, an annual report that documents the landmine problems, policies, and efforts in virtually every country in the world. In the mid 1990s, Wareham came to the United States from her native New Zealand and became the Coordinator of the US Campaign to Ban Landmines. Since then, she has continued her seemingly tireless anti-landmine efforts with both the International and US Campaigns to Ban Landmines.

We would like to thank and recognize the Reverend Mark Brown from the Evangelical Church in America (ELCA) who served as the Chair of the USCBL from early 2001 until recently. The ELCA continues to serve on the USCBL Steering Committee, as do 14 other organizations.

Gina Coplon-Newfield continues as the Coordinator of the USCBL, which is based in Boston at Physicians for Human Rights.
