Answer to Question 1

The ICBL may have been just as successful without the new technologies.
However, the campaign might have taken more time, money, and effort to achieve
the same results. More traditional channels, such as direct mail, lobbying,
advertising, and special events, could have achieved the same results. It is also
important to remember that publicity generated by Princess Diana also enhanced
the campaign. While the Internet may have sped the process along -- especially
in the area of coordinating with other like-minded groups -- its use was not
absolutely essential to the campaign's success.

Answer to Question 2

Princess Diana's role was greatest in generating attention to the issue. That, in
turn, generated public pressure upon the leaders of the world to come to an
agreement to ban the use of landmines. Her death, coming at the opening of the
international conference, may have increased public pressure in favor of the
proposed ban.
