In a statement delivered to a conference in Cambodia focused on the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Treaty, Guterres praised global efforts to clear and eliminate landmines, Lebanese Al Mayadeen reported.<\/p>\n

“But the threat remains. This includes the renewed use of anti-personnel mines by some of the Parties to the Convention, as well as some Parties falling behind in their commitments to destroy these weapons,” he said in the statement.<\/p>\n

He urged the 164 signatories\u2014Ukraine included, but not Russia or the United States\u2014to “meet their obligations and ensure compliance with the Convention.”<\/p>\n

UN Under-Secretary General Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana delivered Guterres’ remarks.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian delegation at the conference did not respond to AFP’s questions regarding the US landmine supplies.<\/p>\n

The Biden administration has authorized providing Ukraine with anti-personnel landmines for domestic use, reversing previous efforts to reinstate President Obama’s ban on the use, production, transfer, and storage of indiscriminate weapons beyond the Korean Peninsula.<\/p>\n
