Key developments since 1999: The Dominican Republic became a State
Party on 1 December 2000.
The Dominican Republic signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 3 December 1997,
ratified on 30 June 2000, and the treaty entered into force for the country on 1
December 2000. According to its Article 7 transparency report submitted 28 May
2002, the Dominican Republic has not enacted domestic implementing legislation
because it is not mine-affected and does not stockpile antipersonnel
mines.[1] In the report, the
Dominican Republic praised the ICBL’s Landmine Monitor initiative for
facilitating transparency and cooperation, as well as encouraging international
debate over matters related to the banning of antipersonnel mines. The
Dominican Republic participated in the Ottawa Process and has since attended
every annual meeting of States Parties with the exception of 2003. It has also
participated in the treaty’s intersessional meetings between 2000 and
2003. The Dominican Republic has voted in support of every annual pro-ban UN
General Assembly resolutions since 1997. The Dominican Republic is not believed
to have ever produced, transferred, stockpiled or used antipersonnel mines and
is not mine-affected.
