Belize
signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 27 February 1998, ratified on 23 April 1998 and
the treaty entered into force on 1 March 1999. It has not yet enacted domestic
implementation legislation.[1]
Belize attended the Third Meeting of States Parties, but did not participate in
any intersessional Standing Committee meetings of the treaty. It submitted its
initial Article 7 transparency report on 4 November 1999, but has not submitted
any subsequent annual reports. Belize was absent from the vote on UN General
Assembly Resolution 56/24M on 29 November 2001, but voted for similar pro-ban
resolutions in previous years. Belize has never used, produced, imported, or
stockpiled antipersonnel landmines, including for training purposes, and is not
mine-affected.[2]
