The Mine Ban Treaty’s intersessional meetings took place on 7-8 June 2018 at the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) in Geneva, Switzerland.

The intersessional meetings provided an opportunity for states to report on the recent progress they have made to implement the Mine Ban Treaty and the Maputo Action Plan (MAP). The meetings also provided a platform for informal discussion on challenges, plans and requirements for assistance and cooperation to achieve the objectives of the treaty.

The meeting was to States Parties, states not party, relevant international organizations and non-governmental organizations.
