Views on the Convention

The State not party has indicated,

“Morocco fully supports the fundamental principles of the Convention. The commitment of Morocco for the elimination of anti-personnel mines is confirmed by its vote in favour of the various draft resolutions relative to the implementation of the Convention presented to the UN General Assembly. Morocco is committed to the universalization of the Convention, while recalling that to this end all conditions must be met, namely the resolution of the artificial regional conflict around the Moroccan Sahara. Morocco is fully aware of the necessity to reinforce the Convention and to this end regularly submits a voluntary transparency report in accordance with Article 7. In accordance with Article 3 of the Convention, mines in storage only serve for instruction, in particular introduction and training on demining." (Intersessional Meetings 2023)
