Appendix 2 (from an ICBL-Link):

The United States has approximately 530,000 antipersonnel mines stockpiled in six States Parties: Germany (112,000), Italy (91,000), Japan (156,000), Norway (123,000), Spain (38,000), and United Kingdom (10,000). The US has engaged in discussions with the States Parties in an effort to convince them to allow the US mines to stay; apparently all except Germany have indicated that the US mines must be removed at some point.
