Anti-Personnel Mines Export screen criteria

How to read this definition

Inclusion criteria describe evidence that can establish this activity. Exclusion criteria identify circumstances that do not establish it on that basis alone. The evaluation remains connected to its taxonomy version and supporting evidence.

Can establish this activity

Included when supported

Evidence may support involvement when it matches one or more of these inclusion criteria.

6 criteria

01Criterion
Direct Cross-Border Export of Anti-Personnel Mines
Defined as: Entities that knowingly cause or legally control the exit of operational anti-personnel mines from a country and are identified as the exporter, consignor, or responsible exporting party.
02Criterion
Export Brokers or Dealers With Export Responsibility
Defined as: Licensed intermediaries that arrange the cross-border exit, export authorization, or shipment of operational anti-personnel mines. Brokering a sale or transfer without an export role is insufficient.
03Criterion
Corroborated Export Evidence From Official Records or Authoritative Monitors
Defined as: Entities for which an NGO, treaty monitor, UN body, government record, sanctions or enforcement record, or other authoritative investigation provides an exact legal-entity, product, export, and time attribution concerning treaty-defined anti-personnel mines, and the assertion is corroborated by a primary source or another independent authoritative source. List membership or a combined controversial-weapons list alone is insufficient.
04Criterion
Export of Dedicated Anti-Personnel-Mine Components
Defined as: Entities that knowingly cause, arrange, or legally control the cross-border exit of fuzes, triggers, explosive charges, mine kits, or other components specifically designed or materially modified for integration into operational anti-personnel mines in another country.
05Criterion
Contracts Requiring Cross-Border Export of Anti-Personnel Mines
Defined as: Entities party to defence contracts or arms agreements that expressly require the cross-border exit of operational anti-personnel mines or dedicated assemblies from the exporting country.
06Criterion
Corroborated Export-Violation Evidence
Defined as: Entities for which an NGO, treaty monitor, UN body, government record, sanctions or enforcement record, or other authoritative investigation provides an exact legal-entity, product, export violation, and time attribution concerning treaty-defined anti-personnel mines, and the assertion is corroborated by a primary source or another independent authoritative source. List membership or a combined controversial-weapons list alone is insufficient.

Does not establish this activity on its own

Excluded on this basis alone

These circumstances do not establish this activity unless separate evidence also meets an inclusion criterion.

6 criteria

01Criterion
Export of Anti-Vehicle or Command-Only Devices Without a Victim-Activated Mode
Defined as: Entities that export only anti-vehicle mines or command-detonated explosive devices that require deliberate human activation and have no available mode triggered by the presence, proximity, or contact of a person. Sensor technology, remote delivery, self-destruction, self-neutralization, or self-deactivation does not by itself place a victim-activated mine outside the treaty definition.
02Criterion
Exporters of Deactivated or Inert Mines
Defined as: Companies exporting training or display mines that are fully inert and non-operational.
03Criterion
Exporters of Demining Technology or Training Devices
Defined as: Entities that export mine clearance tools, robotic systems, or non-lethal educational simulators.
04Criterion
General Freight Forwarders and Shipping Companies
Defined as: Transport companies that move goods internationally but do not manage, own, or control the munitions being exported.
05Criterion
Exporters of General Components (Not Mine-Specific)
Defined as: Companies that export electronics, metal housings, or similar parts without evidence of intended use in anti-personnel mines.
06Criterion
Historical-Only Export
Defined as: Entities with verified past export of operational anti-personnel mines or the applicable outside-definition devices, where reliable evidence establishes that the qualifying activity has fully ceased, been divested, transferred, dismantled, terminated, or otherwise ended and no current qualifying involvement remains. Historical-only activity does not qualify as current involvement. Preserve the historical record separately with the activity period, effective cessation or transfer date, relevant entity, product, programme, facility, or contract, and supporting evidence. Absence of recent evidence alone is not sufficient to establish cessation.
