Dominican Republic
Mine Ban Policy
The Dominican Republic signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 3 December 1997 and ratified it on 30 June 2000, becoming a State Party on 1 December 2000. The Dominican Republic has never used, produced, imported, exported, or stockpiled antipersonnel mines, including for training purposes. The Dominican Republic has stated that it has not enacted domestic implementing legislation because it is not mine-affected and does not stockpile antipersonnel mines. The Dominican Republic submitted its fourth Mine Ban Treaty Article 7 report on 10 March 2009, but has not provided subsequent annual reports.
The Dominican Republic did not attend any Mine Ban Treaty meetings in 2011 or the first half of 2012.
The Dominican Republic is party to the Convention on Conventional Weapons (CCW), including CCW Amended Protocol II on landmines and CCW Protocol V on explosive remnants of war, but has not provided national transparency reports for either protocol.
