The question should probably read, "What is THE mine ban Convention" as that is a popular name for the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, also known as the "Ottawa Convention".
The Convention seeks to end existing suffering and to prevent future suffering. It bans the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of anti-personnel mines. In addition, states that accede to the Convention accept that they will destroy both stockpiled and emplaced anti-personnel mines and assist the victims of mines.
In its long form, the mine ban convention is: The Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction and it is the cornerstone of the international effort to end the suffering and casualties caused by anti-personnel (AP) mines.
The Convention was adopted on 18 September 1997 and it entered into force on 1 March 1999.
As of 1 September 2008, 156 states had joined.
The States Parties to the Convention meet once a year, (once in Geneva, then in a mine-affected country) and have a Review Conference or Summit every five years (only two have taken place: Nairobi and Cartagena).

Why did iron ore tend to align itself in a North South position?
Iron ore tends to align itself in a North-South position due to the Earth's magnetic field. The magnetic minerals in iron ore are influenced by the Earth's magnetic field, causing them to align themselves in a North-South direction as the ore solidifies. This alignment can be observed in rocks that were formed during periods when the Earth's magnetic field was in a specific orientation.
