Should ICG seek to share the blame with the news media for spreading the false rumor?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Why or why not is it appropriate to call this campaign successful in light of the refusal of the United States and other major military powers to sign the anti-landmine treaty?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

There would be little gained in attempting this approach. Ultimately, ICG bears
the responsibility for the health and safety of its employees. The company also
bears responsibility for the management of its crisis communications. While it is
true that the news media and others could have performed better, it is best left to
others to pronounce that judgment. ICG's best post-disaster strategy is to be seen
trying to resolve the issues that led to the accident. That is a much more powerful
message than pointing fingers at someone else.

Answer to Question 2

It really depends on what an individual values. If total victory is the value, then
the campaign has not succeeded. However, if a substantial reduction in the use of
landmines is the value, then this campaign is a success. The ICBL has also put
countries such as the United States, which champions human rights, on the
defensive. The campaign may not end until every nation signs and adheres to the
treaty. However, by any reasonable measure, this campaign's successes
outweigh its failures.
