Abstract
Two major international agreements, an anniversary, and a truth commission report dominate the human-rights landscape of 1998. In July, an international diplomatic conference in Rome adopted a statute to create the International Criminal Court, which would try crimes against humanity, consolidating the principles embodied in the tribunals on Yugoslavia and Rwanda. In September, the Convention against Landmines was ratified by Burkina Faso, the 40th state to do so, thus enabling it to come into force in March, 1999.
