In September 1997, the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC) was
adopted by UN Member States at a dedicated diplomatic conference in
Oslo. A disarmament treaty with clear and expansive humanitarian aims,
the APMBC represented the culmination of many years of energetic
campaigning. The Convention has since garnered the support of over 160
States Parties, yet some of its core provisions remain under scrutiny.
Stuart Casey-Maslen's article-by-article commentary on the 1997
Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention addresses international law and
State practice on anti-personnel mines in the first twenty-five years
of the lifetime of this disarmament treaty. It builds upon the
author's first commentary on the Convention, published by Oxford
University Press in 2003, and the revised edition issued in 2005.
Whereas the two earlier editions focused on the negotiating history of
the APMBC, this new edition provides insight into State and treaty
practice up to now. It comprehensively details the use of
anti-personnel mines through to the present day, the destruction of
landmine stockpiles, and mine clearance in every affected nation. An
authoritative and current commentary on the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban
Convention, this new edition will be a crucial asset for diplomats,
international lawyers, and academics seeking to interpret this
instrumental piece of disarmament law.
