The Ottawa Treaty banning landmines was championed by the Princess and signed in December 1997, three months after her death. In the 1990s, there were an estimated 100 million mines worldwide. This was a tragedy for civilian populations in many countries.

In the space of 20 years, landmines had injured some 600,000 civilians. More still had been killed. Lady Diana visited Angola in January 1997 and Bosnia in August 1997 to see clearance activities and meet landmine victims. Lady Diana also delivered a speech at the Royal Geographical Institute in London in June 1997 calling for an end to “the plague on earth caused by landmines” and asking for an international ban. Her visits attracted global media attention: Lady Diana's 1997 visits to Angola and Bosnia were instrumental in mobilising public opinion in support of a ban on landmines. Her global profile helped to raise awareness among the general public about what a landmine really is: a weapon that kills and maims innocent civilians and has no military strategic benefit, contrary to what many states claimed at the time. “Lady Diana put her profile and her image at the service of the campaign against landmines. As one of the most well-known and recognizable celebrities at the time, and unanimously popular with the public, she brought a very strong support to the campaign. She visited Angola in January 1997 and Bosnia in August 1997, both countries heavily contaminated by landmines at the time. Her meeting with mine clearance experts and mine victims were widely covered by the media and contributed to public awareness about the scourge of landmines. It was a turning point in the campaign. Humanity & Inclusion, as a co-founder of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), will be for ever grateful for Lady Diana’s commitment to the cause,” says George Graham, Executive Director of Humanity & Inclusion UK.

Asclepius, Greek Asklepios, Latin Aesculapius, Greco-Roman god of medicine, son of Apollo (god of healing, truth, and prophecy) and the mortal princess Coronis. The Centaur Chiron taught him the art of healing. At length Zeus (the king of the gods), afraid that Asclepius might render all men immortal, slew him with a thunderbolt. Apollo slew the Cyclopes who had made the thunderbolt and was then forced by Zeus to serve Admetus. Homer, in the Iliad, mentions him only as a skillful physician and the father of two Greek doctors at Troy, Machaon and Podalirius; in later times, however, he was honoured as a hero and eventually worshiped as a god. The cult began in Thessaly but spread to many parts of Greece. Because it was supposed that Asclepius effected cures of the sick in dreams, the practice of sleeping in his temples in Epidaurus in South Greece became common. In 293 bc his cult spread to Rome, where he was worshiped as Aesculapius. Asclepius was frequently represented standing, dressed in a long cloak, with bare breast; his usual attribute was a staff with a serpent coiled around it. This staff is the only true symbol of medicine. A similar but unrelated emblem, the caduceus, with its winged staff and intertwined serpents, is frequently used as a medical emblem but is without medical relevance since it represents the magic wand of Hermes, or Mercury, the messenger of the gods and the patron of trade.
