The Pentagon released a new cluster bomb policy, announcing that they would continue to use and export event the most unreliable cluster bombs over the next decade. This decision comes shortly after 111 countries, including major NATO allies, agreed to a global treaty banning cluster bombs. The U.S. did not attend the treaty negotiations.
Take Action
You can help move U.S. policy in the right direction by urging your senators to cosponsor the Cluster Munitions Civilian Protection Act (S.594). This bill states that, "Cluster munitions will not be used where civilians are known to be present or in areas normally inhabited by civilians."
Growing national support for this bill will show the next president that the U.S. public stands with the rest of the world.
