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]
