Cluster buster.

46 nations push for cluster bomb treaty

Forty-six countries agreed Friday to push for a global treaty banning cluster bombs, a move activists hope will force the superpowers that oppose the effort — the U.S., China and Russia — to abandon the weapons.
Cluster bombs. I like to call them, itty-bitty-auto-terrorists, on account of the fact they like to hang around and kill children far more than other ordinance.

Well, except land mines.

Japan, Poland and Romania rejected the declaration. The U.S., Russia, Israel and China snubbed the conference, but Canada, Britain and Germany were on board this time.

Apparently, the Ottawa Treaty that bans anti-personnel land mines still hasn’t been signed by China, Russia or the US, and has been quite effective in stopping the major powers, so it's a positive sign.

Also, mines placed during the Falklands War have kept humans away from areas of Argentina and The Falkland Islands, which resulted in a safe haven for penguins to breed.

I love that the bomblets are the exact same colour as UN food shipment packs that are also air dropped.
