Key developments since 1999: Grenada became a State Party on 1 March
1999.
Grenada signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 3 December 1997, ratified on 19 August
1998, and the treaty entered into force on 1 March 1999. Grenada did not report
any national implementation measures in either its initial Article 7 report
submitted 13 July 2001 or the follow-up report provided 21 June 2004.
[1] Both are essentially
“nil” reports. Grenada participated in the Ottawa Process and made
a statement on behalf of the six members of the Organization of Eastern
Caribbean States at the signing ceremony in Ottawa in December
1997.[2] Grenada has not
attended any subsequent Mine Ban Treaty-related meetings, but it has voted in
support of every pro-ban UN General Assembly resolution since 1996, including
Resolution 58/53 on 8 December 2003. Grenada has never produced or stockpiled
antipersonnel landmines, and is not
mine-affected.[3]
