you ever met a kid missing half their limbs from a mine or a cluster bomb? this shit is so fucked up. all of it is of course, but this is an egregious crime.
cluster bomblets and similar munitions injure children the most cuz they’re small and interesting looking and its very hard to sweep them all so they get found by curious children for decades after a conflict long after everyone lowers their guards. its so fucked up.
You need to think about how fucking bad something has to be for Australia to be on the right side of the issue
(and you also have to appreciate how much some people just love their fucking bombs. so many cuck countries that aren’t signatories despite being the victims of this shit)
tbh I think this is just a snapshot in time and presumably those countries ended up signing. Maybe it’s just a quirk of chronology.
The convention ended up being ratified (or w/e, it was a process, with further conventions and now there’s a global agreement in place) with even the US finally phasing out all but one cluster bomb with bomblets that are supposed to deactivate themselves.
Perhaps those countries weren’t invited to the table at that stage or didn’t want to waste resources on this until larger players were coming to the table.
China is/was a big hold out. Russia. USA. Brazil. can’t remember if there was another one and I’m back out from the rabbit hole now.
