During 2012 the main issue for the parties to the 1981 Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) Convention was the possibility of extending the treaty to cover the use, transfer and clearance obligations for mines other than anti-personnel mines (MOTAPM).1 Although both Amended Protocol II of the CCW Convention and the 1997 Anti-Personnel Mine Convention address anti-personnel mines (APMs), the former does not specifically regulate MOTAPM and the latter does not include them in the ban on APMs.2 A number of states parties and civil society organizations have long advocated the creation of a separate protocol on MOTAPM under the CCW Convention; and when the negotiations on controlling cluster munitions in the CCW regime broke down in 2011, they saw an opportunity for this.
