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…

Cluster munitions disproportionately harm civilians, both at the time of use & from dud submunitions that pose a threat for years & often decades. Any perceived military utility is outweighed by the harm that they cause - noclusterbombs.org/news/2024/09/2…

This 👉🏼"International humanitarian law is clear: combatants must distinguish between civilians and military targets. Cluster munitions violate this principle, causing devastating harm long after conflict ends" #StopKillingCivilians #ClusterMunitions #EWIPA DisarmamentNZ #ActNow

CMC joins the No US Cluster Bombs in condemning The White House decision to transfer internationally prohibited cluster munitions to Ukraine - for the 6th time in 15 months. We urge the US to align with the 120+ countries that have banned these heinous weapons. bit.ly/3BuBkuQ

US's 7th transfer of BANNED cluster munitions to Ukraine is an insult to victims, survivors & violates global norms. All use/transfers must be condemned & stopped NOW! US: Renounce these weapons & join the Convention on Cluster Munitions #BanClusterBombs bit.ly/488xgg4

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
