This paper examines the ways in which the establishment of peacekeeping standby forces at the continental and sub-regional levels in Africa requires a focus on landmines. It explores how efforts to eradicate landmines fit the discussions on common defense policies and peacekeeping. It also provides an overview of political initiatives at the international, regional and national levels to develop stand-by African peacekeeping capacity, and African progress in implementing the Ottawa Convention, which bans anti-personnel landmine production, stockpiles and use.
