Original text featured alongside video on CULTURES OF RESISTANCE website:
Cluster bombs, which have been widely used for the past 40 years and are still manufactured today, disperse submunitions that can potentially kill anyone within 50 meters. Beyond their initial destruction, those explosives that do not detonate on impact essentially become landmines that cam remain a threat for decades to follow. Earlier this year the Convention on Cluster Munitions reached the 30 national ratifications necessary to impose a ban on their production or deployment. However, many countries, including the United States, Russia, China, and Israel, have not signed or ratified the treaty. Below you can watch our short film about the devastating consequences of these weapons, the landmark Convention on Cluster Munitions, and the work that remains to be done. |
