Monaco

Mine Ban Policy

Last updated: 05 October 2012

The Principality of Monaco signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 4 December 1997 and ratified it on 17 November 1998, becoming a State Party on 1 May 1999. Monaco has never used, produced, exported, or imported antipersonnel mines, including for training purposes. Legislation to enforce the antipersonnel mine prohibition domestically was adopted on 30 August 1999. In May 2012, Monaco submitted its 11th Mine Ban Treaty Article 7 report, indicating that the information remains the same as in previous reports.

Monaco attended the Tenth Meeting of States Parties to the Mine Ban Treaty in November–December 2010 in Geneva but did not attend the Eleventh Meeting of States Parties in Phnom Penh the following year. Monaco attended the intersessional Standing Committee meetings in Geneva in June 2011 but did not attend the intersessional meetings in May 2012.

Monaco is party to the Convention on Conventional Weapons and its Amended Protocol II on landmines but not Protocol V on explosive remnants of war.
