Cluster Bomb 'Soon To Be Thing of The Past

On 3 December, more than 100 countries, including the UK, will sign a treaty banning cluster bombs

Campaigners believe there may be as many as a billion of them across Europe.

But the world's biggest users - Israel and the USA - will not sign this treaty.

Nor, it's thought, will China, Russia, India and Pakistan.

But Thomas Nash from the Cluster Munition Coalition remains undaunted by this.

"What you are going to see is a comprehensive stigmatisation of the weapon," he says.

"Countries that don't sign up won't be able to use this weapon on operations with those that do.

"You're going to see this weapon becoming a thing of the past."
