Official House roll call

Prohibits funds for acquisition, use, transfer, or sale of cluster munitions under the FY25 Department of Defense Appropriations Act. Broader scope than the FY24 transfer-only amendment, reaching acquire/use/sell in addition to transfer. Cluster munitions are prohibited by the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM, adopted May 30, 2008; entered into force August 1, 2010), which bans use, development, production, acquisition, stockpiling, retention, and transfer of cluster munitions. As of 2024, 112 states are parties (124 total signatories); the United States has not signed or ratified the CCM. The CCM is grounded in the international humanitarian law principles of distinction and proportionality (Geneva Conventions Additional Protocol I, Articles 48 and 51) and responds to documented civilian harm from unexploded submunitions.
