This paper provides background information on the Ottawa Convention and the policy of the UK and other governments on landmine bans. The authors explain how the Landmines Bill would make changes to UK law to enable the government to ratify the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction, also known as the Ottawa Convention. The paper concludes with an examination of the specific provisions of the Landmines Bill.
