Lithuania Exits Cluster Bomb Treaty Amid Russian Provocations, Considers Withdrawal From APM Ottawa Convention
|
[MSN - Daily Wrap] Lithuania has officially withdrawn from the international convention banning cluster bombs. This decision is a response to Russia's actions involving using this weapon.
The Lithuanian Parliament decided to withdraw from the convention as early as July last year. At the beginning of fall, Lithuania submitted the necessary documents to the UN, which initiated six months after which the decision would become legally binding. This period ended on Thursday, March 6, at 12:00.
Cluster bombs are containers that can be launched from the air or ground. They contain several dozen to several hundred smaller charges that disperse over a large area, comparable to a soccer field (about 7,140 square metres).
Lithuania decided to leave the convention, arguing that Russia uses this weapon, and all means are necessary to deter a potential aggressor.
Lithuania is also considering withdrawing from the Ottawa Convention, which bans using anti-personnel mines. A decision on this matter is expected within a few months.
