The Republic of Liberia acceded to the Mine Ban Treaty on 23 December 1999, becoming a State Party on 1 June 2000. Liberia has never produced, imported, exported, or stockpiled antipersonnel mines, including for training purposes. Liberia has not enacted new legislation specifically to implement the Mine Ban Treaty. Liberia submitted its initial Mine Ban Treaty Article 7 report nearly four years late, on 20 October 2004, but has not submitted subsequent reports.

Liberia did not attend any Mine Ban Treaty meetings in 2010 or the first half of 2011.

Liberia is party to the Convention on Conventional Weapons and its Amended Protocol II on landmines and Protocol V on explosive remnants of war.

Mines were used during the country’s first civil war (1989–1997) by non-state armed groups. Liberia has no known mined areas but is affected by explosive remnants of war, the result of 14 years of internal and regional warfare.
