On 30 May 2008, the final draft of the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) was adopted by 107 States in Dublin, Ireland. Thirteen years on, promoting the universalization of the Convention remains a centrepiece of the work of its States Parties.

States Parties are required to encourage other States to ratify or accede to the Convention. For a list of “Frequently Asked Questions” of countries prior to joining the CCM, as well as answers to the questions, click on the following link.
