The Convention on Cluster Munitions was adopted to address a serious humanitarian problem: the unacceptable levels of death, injury and suffering caused by cluster munitions. These weapons, which are designed to disperse large quantities of explosive submunitions over wide areas, pose a grave danger to civilians and have long-term consequences for war-affected communities.
