The Convention on Cluster Munitions takes effect on Sunday, August 1, 2010, when it becomes binding international law in countries around the world.

Adopted in Dublin on May 30, 2008 and opened for signature in Oslo in December 2008, the Convention bans the use, production, stockpiling and transfer of cluster munitions and calls for the destruction of stockpiles within eight years, clearance of cluster munition-contaminated land within 10 years, and assistance to cluster munition survivors and affected communities. On August 1, all of the Convention's provisions become fully and legally binding for states that have joined.
