The United Nations Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) is an international treaty that aims to prohibit the use, production, transfer, and stockpiling of cluster munitions. It also includes provisions for the clearance of contaminated areas, assistance to victims, and destruction of stockpiles. The CCM was adopted in 2008 and entered into force in 2010. It seeks to prevent the humanitarian impact caused by cluster munitions, which are explosive weapons that release multiple smaller submunitions over a wide area.
