Botswana Botswana: Landmine Monitor Report 2000 Key developments since March 1999: Botswana ratified the Mine Ban Treaty on 1 March 2000, the first anniversary of global entry into force. The Botswana Defense Force acknowledged that it retains a small stockpile of AP mines for training. August 1, 2001 Botswana: Child Soldier Global Report 2001 From the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers While there is currently no evidence of under-18s in government armed forces, the lack of formal age qualification for volunteers indicates that under-18s could be enlisted. June 12, 2001 SECOND CLASS CITIZENS Discrimination Against Women Under Botswana’s Citizenship Act Recent events indicate that the government of Botswana is continuing to enforce provisions of the Botswana Citizenship Act that discriminate on the basis of sex, in defiance of a 1992 Botswana Court of Appeal decision holding those provisions unconstitutional and contrary to international human rights standards. The enforcement of the Act perpetuates discrimination on the basis of sex and undermines the authority of Botswana's highest court. HRW Index No.: A607 September 1, 1994
