The UN General Assembly Adopted the 2025 Resolution on the Implementation of the CCM

The adoption of UN General Assembly Resolution 80/52 is a vital step in protecting civilians from the devastating effects of cluster munitions.

By reaffirming the international community’s commitment to the Convention’s core goals, the resolution strengthens the legal and humanitarian framework that safeguards civilian lives. It holds states accountable for their obligations — from destroying stockpiles to supporting victims and clearing remnants.

The strong political support shown by states in adopting this resolution is a powerful signal that the international community stands firmly behind the Convention and its humanitarian mission. Adopted with 138 states voting in favour, and only 2 against, it reflects a shared determination to uphold and advance the norms that protect civilians, and demonstrates that the global momentum to rid the world of cluster munitions remains very much alive.
