US dropped 260 MILLION cluster munitions in Laos 1964-1973
400k – 0.47% – have been cleared
11,000 civilians have been killed
60% of cluster bomb casualties are civilians undertaking daily activities
1/3 of all recorded cluster munitions casualties are CHILDREN
120 countries have signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which prohibits the use, production, transfer and stockpiling of the weapons
US declined to sign the treaty
The US strongly condemns the use of cluster munitions and considers it a war crime.
Stoltenberg said today that NATO does not have a unified position on this type of weapon, but the United States has a sharply negative one. A year ago, when Jen Psaki was asked to comment on rumors about the alleged use of such ammunition by Russia, she replied that she did not have confirmation of this information, but if it appeared, it could be qualified as a war crime.
Although, maybe this is a video from some parallel world.
