And this is just one of a number of mines, 10 mines so far right now.

Mines Other Than Anti Personnel Mines (MOTAPM)

Now, then, what do you say to coffee... and most charming company? It is hard to forget your comrades' fate, I know... but our feminine guest is easily perturbed. If I could beg you to put a good face upon the matter.

You found one?

Mines Other Than Anti Personnel Mines (MOTAPM)

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.

States should, to the extent feasible, follow the best practices on fuze design stipulated in Technical Annex B, paragraph 3.

Section VI Fuze design and sensors of MOTAPM

(d) Landmines other than anti personnel mines

The term minefield includes phoney minefields.

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

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,

It is prohibited to use a non detectable MOTAPM, subject to the exclusions specified below.

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.

(h) All feasible precautions shall be taken to protect civilians from the effects of MOTAPMs.

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.

(c) Effective management and security of stockpiles and transport of MOTAPMs

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

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 .

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.

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

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.

A lot of progress was achieved during the GGE sessions in July and November 2004, thanks to the valuable presentations and the active participation of all experts.

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