The Cluster Munition Coalition (CMC) urges all states and specifically the 114 countries that have joined the Convention on Cluster Munitions to help ensure that these weapons are not used by the United States and coalition partners in the offensive launched this week against non-state armed groups in Syria, and similar strikes in Iraq. Cluster munitions were banned in 2008 due to the indiscriminate killing of civilians they have caused at the time of their use and long afterwards.
