Kiribati
acceded to the Mine Ban Treaty on 7 September 2000. It submitted its initial
Article 7 Report on 4 December 2001, reporting for the period from 7 September
2000 to 28 August 2001. In the report, Kiribati stated with respect to national
implementation measures, “No action taken since Kiribati, nor does any of
its territories, use, nor stockpile, produce, transfer, nor destroy
anti-personnel mines.” Kiribati was absent from the vote on pro-ban UN
General Assembly Resolution 56/24M in November 2001. While there is unexploded
ordnance left over from World War II, especially on Tarawa, there is not
believed to be any landmines.
