The Dominican Republic signed the Mine Ban Treaty
on 3 December 1997 but it has not yet ratified. Curiously, the Dominican
Republic did not endorse the pro-ban treaty Brussels Declaration in June 1997,
but did attend the Oslo negotiations as a full participant. It was absent from
the vote on the 1996 UN General Assembly resolution urging all states to pursue
vigorously an international agreement banning antipersonnel landmines, but voted
in favor of the 1997 and 1998 UNGA resolutions in support of the ban. As a
member of the OAS, it also supported by consensus resolutions of the OAS General
Assembly. The Dominican Republic is not believed to have ever produced,
transferred, stockpiled or used antipersonnel mines. It is not
mine-affected.
