Human Rights Watch has updated its informational chart outlining the elements necessary for reducing the civilian harm of cluster munitions. Included within the chart is an overview of twelve cluster munitions which are among the most widely used, those that have caused the most civilian harm, and/or those that would pose the greatest threat to civilians if used due to their unreliability and inaccuracy. As a member of the Cluster Munition Coalition (CMC), Human Rights Watch advocates the strengthening of international humanitarian law (IHL) regarding the use of cluster munitions.
