"Mr President, the use of cluster munitions can be regarded as excessively inhumane due to the disproportionate suffering it causes its victims – often civilians and particularly children. That is why I am surprised that many countries, including some Member States of the European Union, still refuse to sign or ratify the Convention on Cluster Munitions.
I firmly believe that demanding respect for the undertakings made under this agreement belongs to the European Union’s new human rights programme and any Member States that have still not ratified the convention should quickly remedy this situation. Rejecting this important convention would damage the European Union’s reputation as a champion of human rights around the world and reflects badly on the coherence of its foreign policy in the international field."@en1
