These images taken by MAG photographer Sean Sutton from a number of countries – Bosnia, Cambodia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Kosovo, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Lebanon, Sudan and Vietnam – show the problems caused by cluster bombs and the solutions provided by MAG.
Cluster bombs, or cluster munitions, are weapons which can be dropped from the air or fired from the ground. They release numerous explosive fragments – bomblets, or submunitions. Bomblets which fail to explode on impact pose the threat of death or injury long after conflict is over. Their presence means a lack of access to safe land, limiting agricultural development, the reconstruction of vital infrastructure, and the work of relief and development agencies.
