Transfers of mines have virtually halted, large tracts of previously mined lands have been cleared and more than 31 million stockpiled mines have been destroyed.

Mines Other Than Anti Personnel Mines (MOTAPM)

Revenge can be sweet.

Requiring all MOTAPM to be detectable is an important measure to help mine clearance organizations locate and clear dangerous areas quickly and safely.

Section VI Fuze design and sensors of MOTAPM

Stressing the need to convince mine affected States to halt new deployments of anti personnel mines in order to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of mine clearance operations,

With regard to post war humanitarian demining, the quantity of metallic material in MOTAPM has little substantive effect on reducing the difficulty of demining operations.

(d) Landmines other than anti personnel mines

such humanitarian concerns as may exist in the international community, to which we belong, suggests the adoption of a new additional protocol on MOTAPM within the framework of the Convention, to read as follows

Stressing the need to convince mine affected States to halt new deployments of anti personnel mines in order to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of mine clearance operations,

Stressing the need to convince mine affected States to halt new deployments of anti personnel mines in order to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of mine clearance operations,

Colombia has the fourth largest number of mine victims in the world victims of anti personnel mines, booby traps and mines other than anti personnel mines.

Some victims were accused of collaboration with FDN.

To determine basic categories of fuzes and adopt Best Practices on fuze mechanisms so as to increase the discriminatory capacity of MOTAPM to the greatest extent and to prevent them from being actuated by the presence, proximity or contact of a person.

Layla's love turned to revenge.

For the above mentioned reasons, China is in favor of enhancing the efficiency of humanitarian demining efforts through developing advanced demining equipment and technology, instead of through modification of MOTAPM.

Stressing the need to convince mine affected States to halt new deployments of anti personnel mines in order to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of mine clearance operations,

The lack of strong rules on hand emplaced mines would significantly reduce the effectiveness of a new MOTAPM instrument.

There are a number of regulations applicable to MOTAPM which are common to both instruments.

Working Group on Mines Other Than Anti Personnel Mines

China believes that in the pre war period, minefields should be monitored and guarded effectively, but need no marking or fencing in the post war period, however, minefields should be marked and fenced immediately.

Taking into account the views of other parties on this issue, China is ready to demonstrate flexibility by making some amendment to the provisions on the first category of sensitive fuzes in the Coordinator's Paper, i.e., tilt rods do not appear to be a recommended method of activation, if it cannot be designed in such a way that an individual cannot, within reason, initiate the mine .

I definitely had to protect myself to avoid any retaliation.

At the Nairobi Summit on a Mine Free World, a child addressed the States party to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stickpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti Personnel Mines and on their Destruction, contributing to renewed commitment by the international community eliminate the threat of landmines.

Furthermore, they are frequently subjected to threats and reprisals.

The ICRC supports the efforts to reduce the potential problems caused by mines with sensitive fuzes in a future MOTAPM instrument.

The permitted purpose for which mines were used, the activity or project in which these mines were used, progress made or objectives realized in the use of these mines, the types and quantities of mines used and any other relevant information (e.g., the location of the use of the mines).

The nub of the MOTAPM problem lies in the way in which they are used, and not in their design.

(ii) To prohibit the use of MOTAPM, which are not detectable by commonly available mine detection equipment.

Second, prohibition on the use of persistent MOTAPM located outside a perimeter marked area.

As most professional armed forces believe that their MOTAPM are intended to protect national territory and have corps to clear such mines, this could potentially remove large numbers of MOTAPM from the detectability obligation.

(b) Restrictions on the use of MOTAPM,

China hopes that the Coordinator on the MOTAPM issue will incorporate proposals in this package solution to his Paper, so as to facilitate further discussions on the issue in the GGE.

Of course, China s wounded psyche and the desire for restitution from its former tormentors deserve sympathy.

(d) Guaranteeing protection for the victim or the victim's family against any form of intimidation or reprisals

Secondly, metallic mine detection technology is a primitive method and merely one of the numerous mine detection technologies.
