Unfinished Business
• Regulation of use in CCW Amended Protocol II • Continuing humanitarian and developmental
impact. • Complicates clearance challenges.• Grave consequences in future conflict if
regulation is not addressed.• Value of accurate information on Mine-IED
incidents. • Possible courses of action on addressing the
regulatory gap.

Factors impeding new IHL• Sceptical states
• maintain that existing IHL is adequate.
• argue that there is insufficient evidence of humanitarian harm.
• nervous that any process could lead to pressure for a total ban.
• Other states nervous to make an effort that might not succeed.
• States maintaining polarised positions from 2006

Desired End StateAgreement on IHL measures to address remaining humanitarian concerns on MOTAPM / AVM
• Outcomes
– Remain reliant on AP II
– Adopt legally binding protocol on lines of 2006 declarations
– Find another solution
