The 3rd Review Conference of the Convention on Cluster Munitions opened in Vientiane. CMC's opening remarks were given by survivor Umarbek Pulodov, who urged states to: universalize the ban with no exceptions, fund survivor support long-term, and center survivors in decisions. bit.ly/46UYlDH

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.

In February 2022 he was injured in a cluster munition strike on Kharkiv city and now has no feeling below his left thigh as a result of nerve damage. The strike, he says, was the first instance of cluster munitions in the war. When you are injured from cluster munitions he says, there is no end. He is a beneficiary of HI with cash assistance. © C.

👉 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.

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.
