Reporting Update #3 - 16 Sept. 1999

Fifteen article 7 reports for the ban treaty have been posted to the web site of the United Nations Dept. of Disarmament Affairs. You can view them at http://domino.un.org/Ottawa.nsf

It is a bit difficult to read them and the DDA have had some difficulties with their server and in scanning the reports which include photographs, maps and different languages. They are working hard to get everything they have up on the web as quickly as possible.

It is disturbing that only 15 countries have submitted article seven reports to date. Key allies such as Burkina Faso, Hungary, Mexico, Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe to name just a few have still not submitted their reports. If you are in or near one of the countries listed below, please find out why they are late and encourage them to report to the UN Secretary General now on steps taken to implement aspects of the Convention.
