NIUE

Niue signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 3 December 1997 and was the ninth country to ratify, on 15 April 1998. The treaty entered into force for Niue on 1 March 1999. Niue submitted its Article 7 transparency report on 2 September 1999. It is in essence a “nil” report. Niue has not enacted domestic implementing legislation. Niue is not a member of the United Nations and therefore has not participated in any of the relevant UNGA resolutions on landmines. Niue has never produced, transferred, used or stockpiled antipersonnel mines. In a response to Landmine Monitor, a government representative stated that Niue's current position remains unchanged from Landmine Monitor Report 2000.[1]
