Cluster bombs

This book was the result of a year's research on cluster munitions by Rae McGrath, founding Director of the Mines Advisory Group and a founder of the Nobel Peace Prize - winning International Campaign to Ban Landmines (McGrath represented the ICBL and delivered the Nobel Peace Lecture in November 1997). This publication formed a technical basis for campaigning against cluster munitions which resulted in their prohibition in 2008. It examines the technical properties and inherent weaknesses of cluster munitions and their immediate and long-term humanitarian impact. The book is available free online as a pdf. from www.landmineaction.org.uk
