Anti-Personnel Mines Promotion 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

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

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
Promotion of Anti-Vehicle or Command-Only Devices Without a Victim-Activated Mode
Defined as: Entities that promote 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
Media, Researchers, or NGOs Discussing Landmines
Defined as: Outlets or academics that publish neutral or critical content about anti-personnel mines without commercial or promotional intent.
03Criterion
Producers Without Promotional Activity
Defined as: Companies that manufacture anti-personnel mines but do not engage in any active advertising, showcasing, or endorsement.
04Criterion
Generic Marketing Firms Without Editorial Control
Defined as: Advertising or marketing agencies producing content under contract, where they do not control or endorse the messaging.
05Criterion
Historical-Only Promotion
Defined as: Entities with verified past promotion or marketing 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.
06Criterion
Demining or Awareness Campaigns
Defined as: Organizations that engage in public education, mine clearance advocacy, or campaigns to prevent landmine use, not promote it.
