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

The aim is to prevent submunitions from becoming explosive remnants of war, which constitute real risk factors for civilian populations once conflicts end.

In this context, France has proposed a methodological approach aimed at enhancing the reliability of all munitions throughout their life cycle, to prevent them from becoming ERW.

Like other weapons, the use of munitions that may become ERW is regulated by the rules found in IHL treaties and customary international law.

It would also appear that the principles of International Humanitarian Law, if applied rigorously when undertaking targeting planning, would significantly reduce the potential to generate ERW.

The list represents a cross section of specific types of munitions which could become dangerous explosive remnants of war in future armed conflicts, including wars of internal and international character.

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 shipments ranged in size from an individual weapon such as a large and expensive anti aircraft gun to ocean freight containers full of arms, ranging from explosives and ammunition to small arms, mines and anti tank weapons.

In terms of their employment concept and their specific technical features, these munitions, which are self guided towards their target in the final stage and each incorporate a self destruction mechanism, also present an extremely low risk of becoming explosive remnants of war.

Which existing principles of IHL applicable to the use of force during an armed conflict are considered relevant to the use of munitions, including submunitions, that may become ERW?

The list of specific types of munitions is illustrative. It should not be seen or understood as proof or irrefutable evidence that the identified types of munitions might pose an unacceptable humanitarian risk as explosive remnants of war.

ceased. These efforts are continuing in the context of the 1980 Convention, and France plans to continue to play an active role in organizing specific preventive measures to improve the design of certain types of munitions, and particularly submunitions, so as to prevent these items from becoming explosive remnants of war after the cessation of hostilities.

The main purpose of the paper is to facilitate the future discussion on the issue on possible preventive measures aimed at improving the design of certain specific type of munitions, including submunitions, with a view to minimizing the humanitarian risk of these munitions becoming explosive remnants of war.
