At risk of proving my long suspected ignorance, but were cluster munitions not banned under a previous treaty on landmines? From what I can remember, if the bomblet failed to go off it fell into the same category as a landmine, and somewhere I read that was one of the reasons the RAF stopped using JP233.

Or I could be VERY mistaken......
