SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS, Landmine Monitor Report 1999

SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS

Saint Kitts and Nevis, a member of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 3 December 1997. (See Grenada report for Statement on behalf of OECS). Saint Kitts and Nevis ratified the treaty on 2 December 1998. It has not enacted domestic implementation legislation. Saint Kitts and Nevis supported the Ottawa Process by endorsing the Brussels declaration, voting in favor of the key 1996, 1997 and 1998 UN General Assembly resolutions on landmines and through key OAS General Assembly resolutions. Saint Kitts and Nevis has never produced, stockpiled, transferred or used antipersonnel landmines. It is not mine-affected.
