A landmark international convention banning cluster munitions was formally adopted by some 111 countries here Friday, in a move supporters hope will stigmatise the lethal weapons as much as landmines.
There were no objections to its adoption, which came after 12 days of robust negotiations. Signatories vow to outlaw the use, production, transfer and stockpiling of cluster munitions, help victims and clear contaminated areas.
Conference president Daithi O'Ceallaigh said: "I propose that we formally adopt the text of the convention on cluster munitions. We agreed to do this on Wednesday evening. I propose that we adopt the convention text as a whole.
