During the week of action against anti-personnel mines, a temporary exhibition was put on by Swiss non-governmental organisations and the Federal Administration that are committed to the fight against anti-personnel mines.

The artistically designed exhibition showed the various facets of the work against anti-personnel mines:

• Assistance for mine victims
• Raising awareness among the affected population and preventing accidents
• Clearance of mines and unexploded ordnance
• Support for the International Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction (Ottawa Convention of 1997)
• With photographs and videos directly from the affected countries
