On December 1, 2009, Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) spoke on the Senate floor regarding the Cartagena Landmine Ban Treaty Review Conference. Last week, the Obama Administration announced that the United States would not be signing the landmine ban treaty. The United States is one of only 37 countries that have not joined the treaty, including Russia and China.
