MORATORIUM ON THE EXPORT OF LANDMINES
That this House notes that landmines are indiscriminate weapons causing untold suffering to civilian populations, often long after a conflict has ended; congratulates Senator Patrick Leahy and Congressman Lane Evans on their initiative which led to the moratorium by the United States of America on the export of landmines for a year from 23rd October 1992; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to introduce an immediate indefinite moratorium on the export of landmines from the United Kingdom, to ratify the 1981 Inhumane Weapons Convention, to actively seek to negotiate an international agreement or modification of the Convention to prohibit the sale, transfer or export of anti-personnel landmines, and to make available resources for the clearance of landmines.
