Artillery launched cluster munitions will maintain a crucial capacity in the suppression of area targets for a long time to come.

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

(iii) Sub Munitions

The Panel notes that the presence of mines and other ordnance initially prevented the removal of nearby oil contamination, and reconstruction operations in the oil fields further delayed remediation efforts.

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.

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

However, there are some nuances with respect to implementation of the most appropriate preventive measures for munitions, including submunitions.

The designs of which types of munitions, including sub munitions, need to be considered for improvement as possible preventive measures? In this regard, the Meetings had to identify those munitions, including submunitions, which as unexploded ordnance pose the greatest humanitarian hazard.

The examination of the munitions will include all components and packaging.

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

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

Legal and humanitarian concerns about cluster munitions

(v) Aerial delivered Bombs Sub munitions,

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

(ii) In theatre management of stockpiles to ensure ongoing monitoring of munition quality, particularly when in long term stockpiles and to ensure the introduction of ammunition into theatre is controlled so as to minimize the residual amounts of unused ammunition post conflict

With respect to other types of costs, such as removal of unexploded ordnance or the humanitarian costs associated with accidents due to ERW, the discussion showed that there was insufficient data for arriving at meaningful assessments and conclusions.

The UK has both air delivered and ground launched cluster munitions, which can serve as examples of how cluster munitions are used.

In particular, multi fuze submunitions seem to pose a much lower humanitarian risk than submunitions with single fuze or mortar rounds.

Such precautions apply to the use of submunitions.

It is in favour of the total elimination of all weapons of mass destruction.

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

It is clear that CIDA's opinion covers not only measures planned for use but also measures applicable to the design of such munitions submunitions.

By February 2005, the two national mine clearance non governmental organizations, Humaid and Lutcam, had removed 2,545 anti personnel mines, 64 anti tank mines and 40,439 pieces of unexploded ordnance and had cleared 789,075 square metres.

Military officials are also troubled by the impact of cluster munitions on civilian populations.
