Cluster Bomb Treaty Approved

Well, some good news! Britain signed up, and the treaty outlaws the two types of cluster bombs/munitions that Britain has in its stockpile.

Simon Conway, from the Cluster Munitions Coalition, said there would now be "massive" pressure on the US: "We think now that all of America's key allies have just renounced the weapon it will be very difficult for the US to engage in operations with countries who have banned this weapon and continue to use them."
