Estonia was one of the first governments to publicly support a comprehensive ban on anti-personnel landmines, which it did during the preparatory sessions for the negotiations on the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons in 1994. Estonia participated in all the preparatory meetings for the adoption of a treaty banning anti-personnel landmines. It also voted in favour of the UN General Assembly resolutions in support of a ban on anti-personnel landmines in 1996, 1997 and 1998.
