At today’s #CCMISM25, the Cluster Munition Coalition (CMC) 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. Delivering the statement on behalf of CMC, Mark Hiznay of Human Rights Watch sounded the alarm: essential norms protecting civilians are under threat. #BanClusterBombs | Cluster Munition Coalition

Cluster munitions cause extensive civilian casualties and long-lasting problems. Today marks 17 years of the Convention on Cluster Munitions that prohibits the use, production, stockpiling, & transfer of those weapons and requires States to ensure they claim no further victims. | International Committee of the Red Cross
