Ten years after the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention entered into force, States Parties and international and non-governmental organizations, will renew their commitment to completing clearance of mined areas as soon as possible and to ensuring the rights of disabled mine survivors to live full and dignified lives. They will adopt a Cartagena Action Plan to overcome challenges remaining on the road toward a world without mines.
