Justice Minister Ali Sabry presented a Bill to Parliament last week to prohibit the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of anti-personnel mines.
The Prohibition of Anti-Personnel Mines Bill is to provide for the implementation of the provisions of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction which Sri Lanka acceded to in 2017.
The draft legislation incorporates appropriate legal, administrative and other measures, including the imposition of penal sanctions to prevent and suppress the use, stockpiling or production of anti-personnel mines.
