Jamaica
signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 3 December 1997, ratified on 17 July 1998 and the
treaty entered into force on 1 March 1999. It is not believed to have enacted
domestic implementing legislation. Jamaica submitted its initial Article 7
transparency report on 20 June 2000, covering the period from September 1999 to
September 2000, but has not yet submitted its subsequent annual Article 7
report, due on 30 April 2001. Jamaica attended the Second Meeting of States
Parties in September 2000 and voted in favor of UN General Assembly Resolution
55/33V, in support of the Mine Ban Treaty. Jamaica has never produced,
stockpiled, transferred, or used antipersonnel mines and is not
mine-affected.[1]
