"Cluster munitions pose serious risks to civilians owing to their large lethal footprint. In post-conflict settings, the use of these munitions has caused many tragic injuries to and deaths of civilians, as unexploded submunitions left behind are often found by children and other unsuspecting innocents. The support of most EU Member States for parliamentary initiatives and the work of civil society organisations was decisive in the successful conclusion of the Oslo Process, which led to the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) coming into force; 22 EU Member States are States Parties to the CCM and 15 EU Member States have neither signed nor ratified the CCM. The CCM prohibits States Parties from using, developing, producing, otherwise acquiring, stockpiling, retaining, or transferring to anyone, directly or indirectly, and from assisting, encouraging or inducing anyone to engage in any activity prohibited to a State Party under the convention. We are thus on the right path to eliminating cluster munitions."@en1
