Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 30 May 2008, 107 governments participating in a Dublin Diplomatic Conference formally adopted the text of a new Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM). Signed in Oslo on 3-4 December 2008, it will enter into force six months after being ratified by a minimum of 30 governments. This culminates what has become known as the Oslo Process, a procedure similar to the Ottawa Process which resulted in the 1997 Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction. The new convention completely bans production of cluster munitions, and requires destruction of cluster munitions stockpiles that do not meet criteria designed to avoid explosive remnants of war, to significantly reduce the possibility of indiscriminate effects. It contains provisions on victim assistance, clearance, transparency and international cooperation. Stipulations on humanitarian assistance for victims and affected communities, and obligation of affected countries and donors to clear contaminated land, go beyond what was agreed in the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention. It builds upon the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities that came into force on 3 May 2008. This paper describes the technical aspects of cluster munitions and the humanitarian impact resulting from their use. It focuses on Africa in particular and describes the continent's participation in the Oslo Process. In its conclusion, the paper provides a critical assessment of Africa's role in what has been called a new chapter in international arms control and disarmament efforts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the events leading up to the cluster munitions ban, the provisions of the treaty, as well as assesses the progress made in the years since towards a world without the presence of cluster munitions. Cluster bombs are weapons that are small but deadly. They often look like small metal canisters, and some of them are painted, giving them the innocuous appearance of a soda can. The unexploded submunitions that are scattered on the ground, in effect, act as landmines, that can kill or severely injure anyone who comes across them, sometimes even years and decades later. It has been reported that 98% of all casualties of cluster munitions are civilians, of which one-third are children. Cluster munitions have been used in numerous conflicts since the Second World War, and it has been estimated that at least 1 billion submunitions were stockpiled globally. The campaign to ban cluster munitions faced a monumental and nearly impossible task – to convince governments to agree to stop using a valuable weapon that they stockpiled by the hundreds of thousands, in a political climate where the interests of national security and state sovereignty outweighed humanitarian concerns in almost every instance. However, where many international agreements failed and diplomatic processes stalled, the campaign to ban cluster munitions succeeded. Despite strong opposition from many countries, 107 countries met in Dublin in May 2008 to negotiate and adopt a treaty prohibiting the use, production, transfer and stockpiling of cluster munitions. The outcome of the Oslo Process was a ray of hope among the usual cynicism and disenchantment of similar international processes. This book explores this question: how was this accomplished, and are there any wider lessons to be learned from it?

Book excerpt: This book analyses the events leading up to the cluster munitions ban, the provisions of the treaty, as well as assesses the progress made in the years since towards a world without the presence of cluster munitions.On a cold December morning in 2008, representatives of nearly a hundred states as well as dozens of civil society members, gathered in Oslo City Hall to witness the signing of a treaty that marked a moment of triumph and signaled a ray of hope for humanitarian ideals. The treaty would outlaw a weapon that had been in use since the turn of the previous century, one that had destroyed the livelihoods of people for decades after its use, one that disproportionately targeted civilians, especially children. This weapon had contributed to the sluggish development of impoverished countries in South-east Asia, been used in multiple conflicts decades after in Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon, and was the dumbest of weapons in an era where technology in warfare was evolving rapidly. Despite all this, militarily powerful states were unwilling to give up their dependence on this weapon, and not only did they continue to produce and stockpile them for their own use, the global trade in the weapon was brisk, with leftovers from conflicts four decades earlier turning up in wars on the other side of the world.For decades humanitarian organizations sought to limit the use of these weapons, but international consensus on the issue was hard to come by. However, where many agreements failed and diplomatic processes stalled, the campaign to ban cluster munitions succeeded. Despite strong opposition from major military powers, 107 countries met in Dublin in May 2008 to negotiate and adopt a treaty prohibiting the use, production, transfer and stockpiling of cluster munitions, which was signed on December 3, 2008 by 94 countries.As the United Kingdom's Secretary Of State For Foreign And Commonwealth Affairs, the Hon. David Miliband stated, “in less than two years…over one hundred countries have come together to conceive, plan, negotiate, agree, and now sign the most significant disarmament treaty of recent years”. The Convention on Cluster Munitions was adopted despite strong objections from many major players in the international system, and blatant opposition from the US diplomatic machine. How was this accomplished, and are there any wider lessons to be learnt from it?
