This paper highlights considerations and complexities for States Parties aiming to fulfil their obligations under Article 5 of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC).
It discusses the lessons learned and challenges faced by countries at every stage on the pathway to completion, from States Parties at the earliest stages of addressing mine contamination and its impact, to those with substantial contamination remaining, those close to completion, and finally states which have already declared fulfilment of their obligations under Article 5.
