It hosted the diplomatic conference in September 1997 that adopted the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, and led the elaboration of the Convention on Cluster Munitions in 2008. The Safe Schools Declaration is a joint initiative led by Norway and Argentina and endorsed by governments at the Oslo Conference on Safe Schools in 2015.
