Features shall be incorporated in the fuze system to facilitate the use of EOD tools, equipment and procedures for the application of render safe procedures.

Since all explosive munitions can become ERW, this question relates to all explosive munitions used in armed conflict.

As such, information from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) community, both defence and NGO, could be used to further refine the British risk matrix.

The existing IHL principles and rules applicable to the use of explosive munitions

The United Kingdom recognises that all explosive munitions are capable of becoming Explosive Remnants of War.

This is because all explosive ordnance is capable of failing to explode as intended.

The United Kingdom therefore considers that the question relates to the use of all explosive munitions, including cluster munitions, during an armed conflict.

(i) Improving munition packaging and transport in order to minimize the possibility of physical degradation of the munition, its explosive fill and its fusing systems

When planning or executing attacks using explosive ordnance during an armed conflict the United Kingdom applies the following principles

Additionally, the United Kingdom applies the following further principles when using explosive munitions during an armed conflict.

The type of EO, its principles of operation, net explosive quantity and designed terminal effects will all contribute to the consequence of the inadvertent initiation of the EO.

In order to determine whether existing munitions should be retrofitted or disposed of and replaced by more technically advanced munitions, States should study the reliability and safety of existing munitions as well as the technical and economic feasibility of the possible preventive measures.

In addition, Portugal has offered to provide 35 police trainers, while Japan has offered to provide training and material support in the areas of explosive ordnance disposal, traffic and community policing.

The details of those used by other states inevitably differ.

Assistance is also being provided to the Professional Ethics Office, Crime Scene Office and Public Information Office of the national police and the immigration services, as well as in the areas of close protection, counter terrorism and explosive ordnance disposal.

Calls upon all interested States to determine the size of their surplus stockpiles of ammunition, explosive materials and detonating devices if they represent a security risk and if external assistance is needed to eliminate this risk

Importantly it should also be recognised that marked improvements in reliability cannot be delivered from improved production processes alone, but would necessarily have to come from significant changes in the base technologies used in EO.

Shindand and Farah regions and 160 in the Koundoz region. Significant stocks of ammunition have also been collected and are being stored either for reutilization by the Afghan National Army or for eventual destruction.

Specific Types of Munitions

It can happen that the NEO becomes unobservable before all its virtual impactors are eliminated.

Typically this transition to potential peace is very demanding on troops, particularly on those infantry, engineers and ammunition technical officers who will bear the brunt of securing the areas concerned and then disposing of or securing the munitions.

Air delivered Cluster Munitions

Recognizes that the security of stockpiles must be taken into consideration and that the appropriate controls with regard to the security and safety of stockpiles of conventional ammunition, explosive materials and detonating devices are indispensable at the national level in order to eliminate the risk of explosion, pollution or diversion

The reliability testing of existing and stored munitions should be part of any preventive measure designed to reduce the likelihood of munitions, including submunitions, from becoming ERW.

The code on explosives

(i) Cannon shells ( 14.5mm)

In order to achieve a 98 99 level of confidence it would be necessary to significantly increase the quantities of EO that would have to be tested to accept each lot from a new production run, and, it would increase the potential for rejection of production lots, production scrap rates, etc.

Most types of submunitions are designed to disperse submunitions over a wide area (some models disperse submunitions over a square kilometre).

6. Welcomes the commitment by States parties to continue to address the humanitarian problems caused by certain specific types of munitions in all their aspects, including cluster munitions, with a view to minimizing the humanitarian impact of these munitions

Despite the significant ERW problem within Iraq it is worthwhile to note the very substantial disposal efforts that have been made and that continue to be undertaken by Coalition, Iraqi and NGO EOD elements and agencies.

With respect to submunitions, the list identifies that several types of submunitions have different humanitarian risk associated with them.

(iii) Sub Munitions

He cut up all his victims' bodies, using butchery skills he acquired in prison, before disposing of them.

Therefore, today more than ever, it is imperative to eliminate all weapons of mass destruction without delay.

Roughly half of plastic products, such as packaging, are intended for one time, short lifespan (less than six months) applications prior to disposal.

If the test is positive, the pregnancy can be terminated, or, in the case of pre implantation diagnosis, the embryo will be discarded.

It is difficult to know how much ammunition remains in circulation in Liberia because figures are available only for how much was destroyed (6,486,136 pieces of small arms ammunition and 33,604 pieces of unexploded ordnance), and no complete figures are available for how much was delivered.

(v) Aerial delivered Bombs Sub munitions,

Kicking the Oil Habit

Ground launched munitions can be divided into a further 2 categories tube artillery launched and rocket launched.

(e) Small calibre ammunitions

Identifying high risk munitions

Prevention and detection of the attempts to transport arms, ammunition, explosive, toxic, flammable, radioactive substances, other items and objects into the aircraft by passengers, members of the crew, and other persons.
