Vilnius Parliament Votes to Exit Treaty Banning Cluster Munitions Amid Security Concerns
Jul 18, 2024, 11:09 AM
Vilnius' parliament has voted to withdraw from the international treaty banning cluster munitions, citing worsening security in the region and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This decision follows the European Union's recent sanctions against Belarus for its involvement in the conflict. The treaty, known as the Convention on Cluster Munitions or Oslo accord, prohibits the production, stockpiling, use, and transfer of these weapons. The move reflects Lithuania's growing concerns over regional security and its strategic response to the ongoing geopolitical tensions.
