Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon has rejected claims the army used cluster bombs in breach of an international agreement during border clashes with Cambodia in early February.
Gen Prawit was responding to allegations by the Cluster Munition Coalition (CMC) that Thailand had confirmed the findings of its officials on Tuesday. “No cluster bombs here. We have strictly complied with international laws banning their use,” Gen Prawit said.
The CMC said Thailand was not among the 107 countries that have signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions, banning their use.
The CMC claimed the Thai army killed two people with cluster bombs during the border fighting.
