Antigua and Barbuda
Practice Relating to the Prohibition of Certain Types of Landmines
VI. Other National Practice
Antigua and Barbuda has been one of the most prominent members of CARICOM in its support for the ban on anti-personnel landmines. Antigua and Barbuda was an active participant in the “Ottawa Process”, endorsing the Final Declaration of the Brussels Conference on Anti-personnel Landmines in June 1997 and attending as a full participant the Oslo negotiations in September 1997 which led to the adoption of a treaty banning anti-personnel landmines. It voted in favour of the UN General Assembly resolutions in support of a ban on anti-personnel landmines in 1996 and 1997, as well as the relevant OAS resolutions.
