In September 1997, States meeting in Oslo adopted a new
international legal instrument, the Convention on the Prohibition
on the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel
Mines and on their Destruction. Hailed as a breakthrough after the
failure of negotiations held within the auspices of the United
Nations to agree on a total ban on anti-personnel mines, the
Convention entered into force in record time and has already
attracted more than 125 parties. Generally regarded as a hybrid of
arms control and humanitarian law, it marked the culmination of
many years of energetic campaigning by hundreds of organizations
worldwide. Yet some of its core provisions remain the subject of
contention, and major military powers remain outside its purview.
In addition to offering a comprehensive interpretation of the
Convention's provisions article by article, this commentary
describes the development and use of anti-personnel mines, assesses
their military utility, and reviews the legal antecedents to the
Convention as well as the unusual negotiating process that resulted
in its adoption. An overview of the principles of treaty
interpretation is provided for non-specialists, and extensive
source material, including the various drafts of the Convention,
are included as appendixes.
