144-nation treaty to elim inate the
use o f land mines.
Speaking on his return from
Ethiopia, w here he represented
the U.N. ch ild ren ’s agency on a
three-day visit to heavily mined
areas near the border with Eritrea,
the 57-year-old actor said he felt
“a sense o f em barrassm ent that
my ow n country has not signed
the O ttaw a T reaty.”
“ It sm ells o f a certain kind o f
arrogance and d ism issiv en ess,”
G lo v e r, s ta r o f th e “ L e th a l
W eapon” film s, said.
Land m ines litter the border
betw een E thiopia and E ritrea,

were killed.

“We talk about security, peace
and building m ultilateral relation
ships, but I think this sends a bad
m essage,” he said.
“The U.S. is one o f the m ajor
m anufacturers o f land m ines,”
G lover added. "It d o e s n 't say a
great deal about the w o rld ’s sole
superpow er and the role o f lead
