Mine Clearance Issues

The ICBL issued a paper reviewing basic Article 5 requirements and providing food for thought on mine clearance issues, including how to address the situation of states that discover mined areas after the expiry of their mine clearance deadline.

States that will not be able to meet their 2012 treaty-mandated deadline for mine clearance are submitting deadline extension requests for States Parties to decide on at the 11MSP. The ICBL has prepared comments on each request to help States Parties in assessing the request.
