The Cartagena Summit on a Mine-Free World is the name that has been given to the 30 November to 4 December 2009 Second Review Conference of the landmark Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction.
At the Cartagena Summit on a Mine-Free World, the international community aims to redouble its efforts to end, forever, the suffering and casualties caused by anti-personnel mines.
Gathering in Colombia ten years after the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention entered into force, States and international and non-governmental organizations, represented at the highest possible level, will take stock of incredible progress that has been made toward ending the landmine era.
Over 1,000 delegates are expected to express their shared commitment to a world without mines and adopt a Cartagena Action Plan to overcome remaining challenges.
