UN Secretary-General opposes use of cluster munitions

UN Secretary-General António Guterres supports the Convention on the Prohibition of Cluster Munitions and opposes the use of this type of weapon on the battlefield.

"The Secretary-General supports the Convention on the Prohibition of Cluster Munitions, which, as you know, was adopted 15 years ago, and he wants countries to comply with the provisions of this convention. So, naturally, he doesn't want cluster munitions to be used on the battlefield," Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesman for the Secretary-General, said in a comment on media reports that the US will provide Ukraine with cluster munitions, TASS says.
