Monaco signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 4 December
1997 and ratified it on 17 November 1998. In December 1996, Monaco voted for
the UN General Assembly resolution calling on states to pursue vigorously an
international agreement banning antipersonnel mines. Monaco endorsed the
pro-Mine Ban Treaty Brussels Declaration in June 1997, and was a full
participant in the Oslo negotiations in September 1997. Monaco also voted in
favor of United Nations General Assembly resolutions supporting the Mine Ban
Treaty in late 1997 and 1998. Monaco is a state party to the CCW (12 August
1997), but has not ratified amended Protocol II.
Monaco does not produce, trade, stockpile or use antipersonnel landmines, nor
is it mine-affected.[1] Monaco
has donated $27,519 to the United Nations Voluntary Trust Fund for Assistance in
Mine Clearance.[2]
