Kiribati acceded to the Mine Ban Treaty on 7 September 2000. It submitted its initial Article 7 Report on 4 December 2001, reporting for the period from 7 September 2000 to 28 August 2001. In the report, Kiribati stated with respect to national implementation measures, “No action taken since Kiribati, nor does any of its territories, use, nor stockpile, produce, transfer, nor destroy anti-personnel mines.” Kiribati was absent from the vote on pro-ban UN General Assembly Resolution 56/24M in November 2001. While there is unexploded ordnance left over from World War II, especially on Tarawa, there is not believed to be any landmines.
