Antigua and Barbuda: Child Soldier Global Report 2001
From the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers
In Antigua and Barbuda security forces consist of a police force and a small defence force. The police are generally organised and supervised according to British law enforcement practices. There is no conscription into security forces, therefore recruitment is on a voluntary basis only. The minimum age for voluntary recruitment is not known.

Antigua and Barbuda: Landmine Monitor Report 2000
Antigua and Barbuda signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 3 December 1997 and ratified on 3 May 1999. The treaty entered into force for Antigua and Barbuda on 1 November 1999. Antigua and Barbuda's Article 7 transparency report, submitted on 29 March 2000, states that Antigua and Barbuda has "never stockpiled, transferred or employed the use of anti-personnel mines." No national implementation legislation is in place. Antigua and Barbuda participated in the First Meeting of State Parties in Maputo in May 1999. Its Ambassador to the United States, H.E. Lionel Hurst, made a statement on behalf of the fourteen CARICOM (Caribbean Community) member states. He said these states "are of the view that we too can play a significant role by contributing our moral leadership to this very necessary task of ending the scourge of landmines."
