On October 7th, Kerry Brinkert, Director, Implementation Support Unit of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, will be giving a lecture in Persson hall at 7:30pm on “After the Spotlight Dims: Implementing the Global Ban on Land Mines”. Mr. Brinkert is the person who bears responsibility for carrying out the eradication of landmines that is specified in the most widely-supported treaty on this matter, and his organization works with states, international organizations, and NGOs to remove landmines around the world and to assist the victims of landmines. His talk will focus on the challenge of coordinating all of these organizations in their efforts to rid the world of landmines.
In addition to his talk to the larger Colgate University population, Mr. Brinkert will also be holding a lunchtime seminar discussion with a small number of PCON students as part of the Careers in PCON series.
