cluster munitions
The text of the convention states that these weapons “kill or maim civilians, including women and children, obstruct economic and social development… impede post-conflict rehabilitation and reconstruction (and) delay or prevent the return of refugees and internally displaced persons… for many years after use.”
However, Iran, Israel, Russia, Ukraine and the United States have not joined the treaty. While the US halted production in 2008 and converted many stockpiles, it has maintained the right to deploy such munitions in certain conflict scenarios.
In 2023, after prolonged debate, the US transferred cluster artillery shells to Ukraine for use against Russian forces, as Kyiv accused Moscow of deploying similar weapons in the ongoing conflict.^[[1] https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/iran-cluster-munitions-israel-attack-explained-danger-weapons-13898795.html]
There are no winners in a war like that. Stop praising it. The only winner is Netanyahu who successfully distracted his constituency from electing someone else by starting a war.
A tale as old as time, and people don't grow smarter at all it seems.
