In the view of his organization, progress towards universalization had been disappointingly slow, impeded in particular challenge by the continued reported use of anti-personnel mines by certain countries which were not party or signatory to any international instrument on anti-personnel mines and by the non-accession to Amended Protocol II by a number of countries which allegedly still produced or stockpiled anti-personnel mines.
Human Rights Watch est déçue de la lenteur des progrès vers l'universalisation, situation qui s'explique en particulier par ceci que certains pays qui ne sont ni parties aux instruments internationaux relatifs aux mines antipersonnel, ni signataires de ces instruments, continueraient d'employer ces mines et que certains pays qui n'ont pas adhéré au Protocole II modifié produiraient ou stockeraient encore des mines antipersonnel.
