Green MP Sian Berry has spotted banned cluster munitions at the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) arms fair in east London.
Berry visited the arms fair on 11 September, only to find the articles on display in a glass cabinet.
She tweeted that they since been removed by event organisers, asking “but what else remains”:Paid a visit to the London arms fair today… Found a component for cluster munitions, banned under international law, on full display.
The Arms Control Association (ACA) says:Cluster munitions, also called cluster bombs or CBUs, are gravity bombs, artillery shells, and rockets that fragment into small bomblets or grenades.
According to the Convention on Cluster Munitions, “Cluster munition” means a conventional munition that is designed to disperse or release explosive submunitions each weighing less than 20 kilograms, and includes those explosive submunitions.
