Bahrain
has not acceded to the Mine Ban Treaty. Bahrain did not attend any Mine Ban
Treaty meetings during the reporting period, but did vote in support of UN
General Assembly Resolution 56/24M on the universalization and implementation of
the Mine Ban Treaty, as it did on similar pro-ban resolutions in previous years.
While Bahrain is not party to the Convention on Conventional Weapons, its
Geneva-based representatives attended the second review conference in December
2001.
Bahrain is not believed to have produced or exported antipersonnel mines. It
remains one of just a handful of countries for which Landmine Monitor does not
have a clear indication whether antipersonnel mines are stockpiled. As first
reported in Landmine Monitor Report 2000, the United States stockpiles
3,124 antipersonnel mines in Bahrain.
Bahrain is not mine-affected. It is not believed to have contributed to any
international mine action programs in 2001 or 2002.
