A Path is Made By Walking It

‘A path is made by walking it’ is an ancient Chinese saying which affirms the process of change in society. It states the need for individual purpose and collective action in bringing about political and social change – in this case for a mini-free world. This book is a collection of essays by people who have taken steps on that path as part of the Australian Network to Ban Landmines, and by colleagues who have worked with them as part of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL). Their reflection on the process shed light on the walking of other paths of sound advocacy and effective political action.

Patricia Pak Poy rsm AM was the founding National Coordinator of the Australian Network of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. She was a non-government member of the Australian Delegation to the discussions and negotiations for the UN Review of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons and Protocol II and for the development of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Antipersonnel Mines and on their Destruction, signed first in Ottawa, in 1997.
