Saint Lucia

Child Soldier Global Report 2001
From the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers
Grenada, Saint Lucia, Dominica, Saint Vincent and Grenadine and Saint Kitts and Nevis have police forces only, although some paramilitary training is provided for special units. The police are generally organised and supervised according to British law enforcement practices. None of these Caribbean states has a system of conscription into security forces and, therefore, recruitment is on a voluntary basis only.

Saint Lucia: Landmine Monitor Report 2000
Saint Lucia signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 3 December 1997 and ratified on 13 April 1999. The treaty entered into force for Saint Lucia on 1 October 1999. It is not believed to have enacted domestic implementing legislation. Saint Lucia has not yet submitted its Article 7 transparency report, due on 29 March 2000. Saint Lucia did not participate in the First Meeting of States Parties to the Mine Ban Treaty in Maputo in May 1999 and has not participated in the intersessional meetings of the ban treaty. It voted in favor of UN General Assembly Resolution 54/54B in December 1999 in support of the Mine Ban Treaty. Saint Lucia has never produced, transferred, used or stockpiled antipersonnel landmines. It is not mine-affected.
