Thailand used cluster bombs on Cambodian territory in February in contravention of an international agreement banning their use, a campaigning body said Wednesday.
The Cluster Munition Coalition (CMC) claimed Thailand had confirmed the findings of CMC officials at a meeting on Tuesday, acknowledging the first known use of such arms since the ban came into force last year.
Their use killed two people, said the CMC – an umbrella body for non-government organisations which played a major role in getting a wide range of countries to sign up to a ban.
