Graphic of a girl riding a bike on a dirt path surrounded by greenery. Text reads: 15 years of the convention on cluster munitions. In 2023, 93% of cluster munition victims were civilians. Nearly half were children.
Today marks 15 years since the Convention on Cluster Munitions entered into force.
These banned weapons are still used around the world, from Ukraine to Myanmar.
We must end the use — everywhere, forever.

Today marks 15 years since the Convention on Cluster Munitions entered into force. It has saved lives, reduced harm, and upheld international norms. Yet new use and Lithuania’s withdrawal from the Convention demand renewed commitment.

At today’s #CCMISM25, we called on states to stand firm against emerging threats to the global ban on cluster munitions, warning that silence or ambiguity is not an option.
Mark Hiznay of @hrw.org sounded the alarm: essential norms protecting civilians are under threat.
#BanClusterBombs
#Ireland at #CCM2025:
“Opposing any use, stockpiling, production or transfer of cluster munitions under any circumstances”.
#BanClusterBombs
#SouthAfrica at #CCM2025:
“Security challenges cannot and should not lead to the deployment of weapons whose devastating humanitarian consequences are well documented”.
#BanClusterBombs
#Belgium at #CCM2025:
“Adequate military and Security Defense does not necessarily imply the use of cluster munitions or Anti-Personnel Mines”.
#BanClusterBombs
#NewZealand at #CCM2025:
“Lithuania’s withdrawal and discussions by other states about potential withdrawal negatively impact the Convention, humanitarian disarmament efforts, and the protection of civilians.
A world without these weapons is possible and necessary”.
