Swaziland
Mine Ban Policy
The Kingdom of Swaziland signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 4 December 1997 and ratified it on 22 December 1998, becoming a State Party on 1 June 1999. It has never used, produced, exported, or imported antipersonnel mines, including for training purposes. It has not enacted new legislation specifically to implement the Mine Ban Treaty. Swaziland submitted its second Mine Ban Treaty Article 7 report on 11 May 2006, covering 31 January 2000 to 31 March 2005, but has not submitted subsequent annual reports.
Swaziland had a suspected hazardous area, the result of conflict spilling over from neighboring Mozambique, but technical survey did not find any antipersonnel mines. In November 2007, Swaziland announced it had fulfilled compliance with Article 5 almost two years before its 1 June 2009 treaty-mandated deadline.
Swaziland did not attend any Mine Ban Treaty meetings in 2010 or the first half of 2011.
Swaziland is not party to the Convention on Conventional Weapons.
