How does it stack up?:  the anti-personnel mine ban convention at 10 / 
Peter Herby and Eve La Haye 
 -  2007 
<br/><br/> Considers progress since the Ottawa Convention was opened for signatures on 3rd December 1997. There are now 156 states-parties and the Convention is considered "one of the most successful multilateral arms treaties of recent years". Significant non-signatories are the USA, China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Burma, and Singapore but many of these prohibit export and the USA did not use a-p mines in Kosovo, Afghanistan or Iraq. While much remains to be done the track record so far is very encouraging.
