Anti-Personnel Landmines
Two major international treaties on anti-personnel landmines give the UN Secretary-General,
as Depositary, a substantive role to play in their implementation and
further development, namely: the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and
Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction (Mine-Ban Convention)
and the Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which
May Be Deemed to Be Excessively Injurious or to Have Indiscriminate Effects
(CCW) and its Amended Protocol II. To that end, DDA supports
the role of the Secretary-General, as laid out, inter-alia, in the United
Nations Policy of 1998 (Mine
Action and Effective Coordination: the United Nations Policy).
