NAURU, Landmine Monitor Report 1999

NAURU

Nauru has not signed the Mine Ban Treaty. Nauru is a republic which achieved independence from an Australian, New Zealand, and U.K.-administered UN trusteeship on 31 January 1968. It is unknown why Nauru has not supported the elimination of antipersonnel landmines. Nauru is not believed to have ever produced, transferred, stockpiled or used antipersonnel landmines and is not mine-affected.
