The U.S. Uses Cluster Bombs

In the last 10 years, the United States has used them in civilian-populated areas of the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq.

U.S. Cluster Bombs Kill Civilians and U.S. Soldiers

Cluster munitions pose a danger to civilians during and after conflict, as malfunctioning bomblets scattered over a wide swath of land become de facto landmines. And during the
1991 war against Iraq, U.S.-dropped cluster submunitions were the single most deadly weapon facing U.S. troops.

The Time to Ban Cluster Bombs Is Now

Half the world will gather in Dublin this May to negotiate a cluster bomb treaty. The U.S. government won't be there. Help Congress send the right message by urging your senators to ban the use and export of these weapons. Spread the word with our flyer.

Call Your Senators on May 12
