Havana, September 9 (RHC)-- President Raúl Castro has proclaimed that on October 1st, Cuba will begin to implement the provisions of the Convention on Cluster Bombs.
The proclamation, published Friday on the country's Official Gazette, recalls that Cuba deposited its instrument of accession to the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions with the United Nations in New York on April 6, 2016, becoming the 119th country to sign or accede.
The convention comprehensively bans the use, production, stockpiling, and transfer of cluster munitions, and pledges assistance to victims of the weapons.
Addressing the 6th Meeting of State Parties of the Convention in Geneva, Cuban representative Rodolfo Benítez expressed Cuba's strong support for the prohibition and elimination of cluster munitions and condemns their use.
