The global treaty that bans cluster bombs, formally known as the Convention on Cluster Munitions has been signed by 98 countries and ratified by 10 countries.
The Cluster Munition Coalition (CMC) is calling on all governments that have not yet done so to sign and ratify the Convention. 30 countries must ratify the Convention for it to enter into force. When this happens it will have full legal force and effect as a binding piece of international law: the use, production, transfer of cluster bombs will be illegal and deadlines for destroying stockpiles and clearing contaminated land will start counting down.
