Williams, Jody
美国社会活动家，她帮助建立了国际禁雷运动（ICBL）并指导在全世界展开禁止生产、转让和埋放杀伤性地雷以及排雷的活动。1997年她和该组织共获诺贝尔和平奖。1984年威廉斯在约翰.霍普金斯大学获国际问题研究硕士学位。作为尼加拉瓜－宏都拉斯教育计画协调人和萨尔瓦多医疗援助的副主任，她影响美国的中美洲外交政策达十年之久。这些兴趣使她与美国越战退伍军人基金会有了接触，该基金会与以德国人为基础的国际医疗组织於1992年创建了国际禁雷运动组织，威廉斯被任命为运动的协调人。威廉斯就地雷的危险性广泛的发表演说，宣传在约六十八个国家里仍有未爆的地雷一亿一千万枚，每年造成二万六千人的伤亡，主要是平民。1997年12月123个国家在加拿大渥太华签署禁雷条约，很快的在一百个国家里获得批准，但不包括主要的生产国在内，如美国、俄罗斯和中国。该条约呼吁禁止发展、销售和使用地雷，呼吁销毁未爆的地雷和现有的储备。威廉斯和罗伯次（S. Roberts）合着的《枪炮沈寂之後：持久的地雷隐患》（1995）该书认为，由於购买和埋放地雷的费用低廉而侦查和拆除引信的费用极高，所以在战争结束後地雷仍因其任意的造成伤亡并使土地无法利用而继续对平民构成威胁。

Williams, Jody
American activist who helped found the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL). In 1997 she and the campaign were named corecipients of the Nobel Prize for Peace. In 1984 Williams received a master's degree from Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, D.C. She was a co-coordinator of the Nicaragua-Honduras Education Project (1984-86) and deputy director of Medical Aid for El Salvador (1986-92). These interests brought her in contact with the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation, which, along with the German-based group Medico International, launched the ICBL in 1992, naming Williams as the campaign coordinator. Williams lectured widely on the dangers of land mines, publicizing the presence of about 110 million unexploded land mines in about 68 countries. In December 1997 the Mine Ban Treaty was signed by 123 countries in Ottawa, Ont., Can. Soon 100 countries had ratified the treaty, but not the major mine-producing ones, such as the United States, Russia, and China. Williams was coauthor, with Shawn Roberts, of [book]After the Guns Fall Silent: The Enduring Legacy of Landmines (1995), which examined the socioeconomic impact of land-mine contamination in four countries.
