Mine Ban Treaty Members Reaffirm Goals

摘要

Parties to the 164-nation Mine Ban Treaty recommitted to their plans to eradicate landmines by 2025 during the treaty's fourth review conference in Oslo on Nov. 25-30. More than 700 delegates gathered to mark the treaty's 20 years since entry into force. Conference participants adopted the Oslo Action Plan and the Oslo Declaration on a Mine-Free World, documents that reaffirmed their intent to achieve full treaty compliance, including mine destruction and clearance, "to the fullest extent possible" by 2025. Full compliance was a goal originally stated in the Maputo Action Plan, created at the 2014 review conference.
