We agree, General. Cluster munitions are inherently indiscriminate, which is why 112 countries have banned them under the Convention on Cluster Munitions. The US has not joined. Neither have Iran or Israel. We urge all three governments to act on these words and join the ban.

Both Iran and Israel have used cluster munitions in the past, and neither has joined the Convention. Read more here: www.linkedin.com/posts/intern... #BanClusterBombs

At the First Committee, we urge delegations to: ➡️ Condemn all use of #landmines and #ClusterMunitions, under any circumstances; ➡️ Denounce withdrawals from the treaties; ➡️ Urging all states to join and stop withdrawal plans; ➡️ Vote in favour of the resolutions promoting these life-saving treaties.

Making sure #Landmines and #ClusterMunitions stay on the agenda during #UNGA 👇 In a meeting with UN High Representative Izumi Nakamitsu, Tamar Gabelnick, urged stronger leadership on state withdrawals, and reinforced the call that suspension from the treaties is not permitted.

[13MSP #ConventionOnClusterMunitions] Lao PDR, Iraq & others stated clearance, risk education or victim assistance had to be reduced or stopped. @hi-federation.bsky.social & @banclusterbombs.bsky.social call on states to ensure funding for all affected States to achieve clearance of cluster munition

The Cluster Munition Monitor released today shows the positive impacts of the Oslo Convention on clearance & victim assistance. 👉Still a lot of work needs to be done. 🔴State parties must continue should not forget the victims! @banclusterbombs.bsky.social @minemonitor.bsky.social

The Cluster Munition Monitor 2025 report #CCM2025 has been released! The report can be access through this: bit.ly/42oMtYG The press release is also available in here: bit.ly/41NasAH #BanClusterBombs

👉 The 2025 Report shows that the Convention on Cluster Munitions is making a real difference. In 2024 alone, States Parties cleared more cluster munition remnants than they did in the previous five years. This is what humanitarian progress looks like: safe ground for civilians and their futures.

While progress is being made, the CMM Report reveals alarming setbacks: #Lithuania became the first country ever to withdraw from the Convention #ClusterMunitions continue to be used in conflicts in Myanmar, Russia, Syria, and Ukraine. #Civilians continue to pay the highest price. Discover more 👇

Since #Russia’s full-scale invasion began, cluster munitions have caused over 1,200 civilian casualties in #Ukraine. Behind each number is a life forever changed, a family torn apart, a community living in fear. 👉 This is why the work to eradicate these indiscriminate weapons matters more than ever.

Amidst multiple instances of use of #clustermunitions in 2025 & #Lithuania’s withdrawal from the #CCM, @erinlynnhunt.bsky.social of @banclusterbombs.bsky.social expects states to speak strongly in condemnation of these developments in #FirstCommittee: reachingcriticalwill.org/images/docum...
