A review is presented of what we understand of colour confinement in QCD.
Lattice formulation provides evidence that QCD vacuum is a dual superconductor:
the chromoelectric field of a qqˉ pair is constrained by dual Meissner
effect into a dual Abrikosov flux tube and the static potential energy is
proportional to the distance.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, plenary talk at "Quark Matter 99", Torino,
