Abstract
In addition to providing the necessary background, this chapter moves on to sketch debates surrounding the development of the Ottawa Convention. The focus lies on the creation of German and UK governmental positions up to the point of both governments signing the Convention. The overall purpose of this chapter is to provide the groundwork for the following analytical chapters that seek to describe the relations between discourse and interests, and between states and NGOs against the background of the implementation of the landmines campaign in Germany and the UK.
