MONACO

The Principality of Monaco signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 4 December 1997, ratified it on 17 November 1998, and the treaty entered into force for Monaco on 1 May 1999. Legislation implementing the Mine Ban Treaty was passed on 30 August 1999.^[1] Violators, including Monegasque living abroad, are subject to prison sentences and fines.^[2]

Monaco attended the Second Meeting of States Parties to the Mine Ban Treaty in September 2000. In November 2000, it voted in favor of UN General Assembly Resolution 55/33V in support of the Mine Ban Treaty. Monaco submitted its first Article 7 transparency report on 10 May 2001. At the end of the Article 7 report, it stated, “The Principality of Monaco wants to assure the international community of its support regarding the mine issue. The support of NGO activities is part of this commitment.”^[3]

Monaco is a party to Amended Protocol II of the Convention on Conventional Weapons. In December 2000, Monaco attended the Second Conference of States Parties of Amended Protocol II. However, Monaco did not submit its report as required under Article 13 of Protocol II in either 1999 or 2000.

Monaco has not produced, traded, stockpiled, or used antipersonnel mines, and is not mine-affected.^[4]

Monaco contributed $14,111 in 1999 and $14,000 in 2000 to the UN Voluntary Trust Fund for Assistance in Mine Clearance.
