Ukrainian InfoCentre

General Overview

      As a part of the ongoing joint program between the Ukrainian Campaign to Ban Landmines and the "UA Zone" Ukrainian Information Project, informational newsletters are being distributed from information centers to Ban Landmines in Ukraine and East-Europe regions. This program is made possible by a promotion from the BAST Fund.
    We are pleased to announce the availability (via the World Wide Web) of the information newsletters from the Ban Landmines consulting and information center, focusing on various topics of interest.
    A fundamental principle of the Ban Landmines Information System is that the usefulness of any information network depends upon the content transferred over that network. We hope to make the Web a powerful tool for spreading useful knowledge that can help Ukrainian Campaign to Ban Landmines.
