Both Iran and Israel have used cluster munitions in the past, and neither has joined the Convention.

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.
Today, progress remains strong:
– 111 States Parties and 12 signatories
– 42 States Parties have destroyed 100% of their declared stockpiles
– 1.49 million cluster munitions and 179 million submunitions eliminated
– Clearance continues in affected countries
19 years ago, the Oslo Process was launched, leading to the Convention on Cluster Munitions.
#BanClusterBombs
CMC is deeply concerned following reports from Ukrainian, Greek, and defence media indicating that #Greece is preparing an arms transfer to #Ukraine, reportedly including cluster munitions, pending approval by its National Security Council (KYSEA).

At the First Committee, we urge delegations to:
➡️ Condemn all use of #landmines and #ClusterMunitions, under any circumstances;
➡️ Denounce withdrawals from the treaties;
➡️ Urging all states to join and stop withdrawal plans;
➡️ Vote in favour of the resolutions promoting these life-saving treaties.
Making sure #Landmines and #ClusterMunitions stay on the agenda during #UNGA 👇
In a meeting with UN High Representative Izumi Nakamitsu, Tamar Gabelnick, urged stronger leadership on state withdrawals, and reinforced the call that suspension from the treaties is not permitted.

[13MSP #ConventionOnClusterMunitions] Lao PDR, Iraq & others stated clearance, risk education or victim assistance had to be reduced or stopped.
@hi-federation.bsky.social & @banclusterbombs.bsky.social call on states to ensure funding for all affected States to achieve clearance of cluster munition

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 Cluster Munition Monitor released today shows the positive impacts of the Oslo Convention on clearance & victim assistance.
👉Still a lot of work needs to be done.
🔴State parties must continue should not forget the victims!

The Cluster Munition Monitor 2025 report #CCM2025 has been released!

#BanClusterBombs
👉 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.
While progress is being made, the CMM Report reveals alarming setbacks:
#Lithuania became the first country ever to withdraw from the Convention
#ClusterMunitions continue to be used in conflicts in Myanmar, Russia, Syria, and Ukraine.
#Civilians continue to pay the highest price.
Discover more 👇
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.
Amidst multiple instances of use of #clustermunitions in 2025 & #Lithuania’s withdrawal from the #CCM, @erinlynnhunt.bsky.social of @banclusterbombs.bsky.social expects states to speak strongly in condemnation of these developments in #FirstCommittee: reachingcriticalwill.org/images/docum...
2025 Cluster Munition Monitor is out now 📣
Civilians – especially children – continue to suffer the deadly legacy of cluster munitions.
Every single recorded casualty in 2024 was a civilian.

👉 Join the movement and call for a complete!
#BanClusterBombs
On World Humanitarian Day, we honours deminers risking their lives to make communities safe from landmines and cluster munitions.
Mine action programs are underfunded, which means fewer teams in the field, slower clearance, and communities forced to live longer with fear.
#ActForHumanity
CMC is celebrating “To Margaret” by Martina Musio and Campagna Italiana contro le Mine which won the 2025 Youth for Humanitarian Disarmament Multimedia Contest.
Dedicated to the life of Margaret A.O., ICBL Ambassador and landmine survivor, blending her story and voice into a beautiful work of art.
Cluster Munition Monitor 2024 reports that from February 2022 to December 2023, a total of 1,023 cluster munition casualties were recorded for #Ukraine. However, the actual number is likely much higher as many casualties go unreported.
#MineFreeWorld #BanClusterBombs
In the previous months we’ve heard every excuse to withdraw from these humanitarian disarmament treaties.
But there is no justification. Not for landmines. Not for cluster munitions.
#MineFreeWorld #BanClusterBombs
Today marks 15 years since the Convention on Cluster Munitions entered into force. It has saved lives, reduced harm, and upheld international norms. Yet new use and Lithuania’s withdrawal from the Convention demand renewed commitment.

The Cluster Munition Coalition is deeply concerned by confirmed reports of cluster munition use by #Thailand along the Thai–Cambodian border.
Accountability must follow ceasefire. Civilians must not bear the cost of conflict.
