Our campaigners have returned home with renewed determination to rid the world of these atrocious weapons. This #NonViolenceDay, we recommit to that goal, and we hope the day cluster munitions become a weapon of the past comes sooner rather than later.

Decades after these weapons were dropped, communities there still live with their deadly legacy every day.

The Review Conference may have closed on 18 September, but our work is far from over. Meeting in Laos, one of the countries most contaminated by cluster munitions, was a powerful wake-up call for everyone who attended. #BanClusterBombs

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

Our thoughts are with the families, friends and colleagues of those who lost their lives, and with the injured and their loved ones. Humanitarian workers must never be targets. The loss of any humanitarian worker is a loss for all of us who share this mission. We grieve alongside you.

NPA's teams do some of the most dangerous and most necessary work there is: clearing landmines, cluster munitions and explosive remnants of war so that communities can return home and rebuild. They put themselves in harm's way so that others can live more safely.

CMC is in Addis Ababa this week for the Universalisation & Implementation Workshop for & by African States. Ahead of September's 3rd RevCon, our message is clear: 1- Accelerate ratifications 2- Encourage accessions 3- Engage neighbors Africa's leadership is central to #BanClusterBombs

The Coalition's push before the 3rd Review Conference in September is clear: 1- Accelerate ratifications, 2- Encourage accessions, 3- Mobilize States Parties to actively engage their neighbors. Stronger stigma = stronger protection for civilians.

The Cluster Munition Coalition calls on Iran, Israel and the US to join the Convention on Cluster Munitions and protect their citizens from the very weapons they refuse to prohibit.

Cluster Munition Coalition @banclusterbombs.bsky.social · 30/03/2026
Neither Iran, Israel, nor the United States has joined the Convention on Cluster Munitions. Nonetheless, indiscriminate attacks remain prohibited under international humanitarian law. The deaths of these civilians are a direct consequence of the failure to ban these weapons universally.

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.

Cluster Munition Coalition @banclusterbombs.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
We've seen these allegations surface in the context of Iran's reported attacks on Israel. The CMC is monitoring the situation closely, but we have not yet been able to independently confirm the use of cluster munitions due to limited open-source evidence. We will continue to investigate.

At the same time, use has been documented and continues in Ukraine and Myanmar. In 2025, Lithuania became the first state ever to withdraw from the Convention. Nineteen years on, the Oslo Process stands as proof of what political will can achieve. Stop the Harm. Stand up for the Ban.

Victim assistance saw targeted improvements in 2024, but funding cuts and structural gaps still limit access to medical care, rehabilitation and economic inclusion, particularly in Afghanistan and Lebanon.

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.
