Pre UNSC, Pak Tried ‘Cluster Bomb’ To Shame India Internationally
The QuintAnother way of preventing the use of cluster bombs is through Protocol on Explosive Remnants of War to the Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons which may be deemed to be Excessively Injurious or to Have Indiscriminate Effects. This 2003 Protocol which came before the CCM, deals with unexploded and abandoned ordnance left over after fighting ends—so-called explosive remnants of war which includes cluster bombs. However, the Protocol doesn’t establish the responsibility of user State, but it does provide for state parties to clear, remove, and destroy ERW in areas under their jurisdiction and to assist other states in the same, if they wish to do so. The protocol don’t provide much for the immediate response against the use of cluster munitions but it does impose an obligation on Member State to repair the long-term impact of cluster munitions.
