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.
