Convention on Cluster Munitions

Statutory Meetings / International Conference / Pledges / 32nd International Conference / Convention on Cluster Munitions

A) Objectives of the pledge:

Austria pledges to continue to promote the ratification of and the accession to the Convention on Cluster Munitions by States which have not yet done so. Austria further pledges to uphold its commitment to safeguard the humanitarian standards set by the Convention.

B) Action plan:
