Bahrain has not acceded to the Mine Ban Treaty. Bahrain did not attend any Mine Ban Treaty meetings during the reporting period, but did vote in support of UN General Assembly Resolution 56/24M on the universalization and implementation of the Mine Ban Treaty, as it did on similar pro-ban resolutions in previous years. While Bahrain is not party to the Convention on Conventional Weapons, its Geneva-based representatives attended the second review conference in December 2001.
Bahrain is not believed to have produced or exported antipersonnel mines. It remains one of just a handful of countries for which Landmine Monitor does not have a clear indication whether antipersonnel mines are stockpiled. As first reported in Landmine Monitor Report 2000, the United States stockpiles 3,124 antipersonnel mines in Bahrain.
Bahrain is not mine-affected. It is not believed to have contributed to any international mine action programs in 2001 or 2002.
