The Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction of 1997, known informally as the Ottawa Treaty, the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, or often simply the Mine Ban Treaty, aims at eliminating anti-personnel landmines (APLs) around the world.[2]
By August 2022, 164 states had ratified or acceded to the treaty.[3] Major powers, which are also past and current manufacturers of landmines, are not parties to the treaty.[4] These include the United States, China, and Russia.[5][6] Other non-signatories include India and Pakistan.[4]
