Today the US CMC and 18 partner orgs sent a letter to President Donald J. Trump expressing grave concern w/ U.S. policy and practice on cluster munitions and urging immediate action. The US should be a leader in the abolition of these weapons-not complicit in their use. noclusterbombs.org/news/2024/09/2…

Unlike previous announcements, the type of US cluster munitions to be sent to Ukraine were not specified in yesterday's Department of State & @DeptofDefense announcements. This lack of transparency is regrettable as it will spur rumors & speculation: noclusterbombs.org/news/2024/09/2…

At UNGA 1st Committee, #Lithuania notes difficult decision to leave Conv on Cluster Munitions while noting duty to protect civilians in conflict; best way to protect civilians in Lithuania and elsewhere is to remain part of CCM Convention on Cluster Munitions Lithuania MFA | #StandWithUkraine
