Addressing the Meeting of the States Parties to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention in Geneva, head of Kuwait’s Ministry of Defense delegation Colonel Staff Munawar Hussein Al- Otaibi said that Kuwait’s fight against anti-personnel mines is rooted not only in legal responsibility but in deep humanitarian experience.
