'The immediate and long-term suffering that cluster munitions cause civilians make their use today in Ukraine unconscionable as well as invariably unlawful.' HI_UnitedStates HRW

"The immediate and long-term suffering that cluster munitions cause civilians makes their use today in Ukraine unconscionable as well as invariably unlawful," said one human rights campaigner.

"The immediate and long-term suffering that cluster munitions cause civilians make their use today in Ukraine unconscionable as well as invariably unlawful,"Mary Wareham, arms advocacy director at Human Rights Watch, a member of the Cluster Munition Coalition. Jeff Meer, U.S. executive director of Humanity & Inclusion, a member of the coalition."Yet we've seen Russian forces repeatedly launch unlawful attacks using this banned weapon.", which bans the production, use, transfer, and stockpiling of cluster munitions—bombs which contain hundreds of submunitions that scatter across large areas and, nearly half the time, do not detonate on impact. The bombs create de facto landmines, often across residential neighborhoods.

Ukrainian officials say they have"strictly [adhered] to the norms of international humanitarian law" when using the bombs and have used them in areas under control of armed forces—but as Humanity & Inclusion, the submunitions can pose"a serious threat for the local population for years to come," potentially long after the war ends.
