    About this ebook

    The Convention on Cluster Munitions is an international treaty that forbids the use, transfer, production, and accumulation of cluster bombs, a type of explosive weapon which scatters submunition over an area. In addition, it establishes a framework to sustain victim assistance, clearance of contaminated sites, risk reduction education, and stockpile demolition. This convention was adopted on 30 May 2008 in Dublin and entered into force on 1 August 2010.

      The States Parties to this Convention,

      Deeply concerned that civilian populations and individual civilians continue to bear the brunt of armed conflict,

      Determined to put an end for all time to the suffering and casualties caused by cluster munitions at the time of their use, when they fail to function as intended or when they are abandoned,

      Concerned that cluster munition remnants kill or maim civilians, including women and children, obstruct economic and social development, including through the loss of livelihood, impede post-conflict rehabilitation and reconstruction, delay or prevent the return of refugees and internally displaced persons, can negatively impact on national and international peace-building and humanitarian assistance efforts, and have other severe consequences that can persist for many years after use,

      Believing it necessary to contribute effectively in an efficient, coordinated manner to resolving the challenge of removing cluster munition remnants located throughout the
