イギリスキラー収束爆弾を捨てるために用意しなさい

5月28日水曜日のTh 2008年

clusterbomb.jpgによって リチャードNortonテイラー | 政府は不具にされた何百もの無実の一般市民殺した武器に対して成長する叫びに直面して英本国の収束爆弾の全体の工廠を捨てることを準備して。

役人は予想外のための道を開いて、国際条約のダブリンの話の根本的なステップは爆弾の世界的な禁止を目指した。

よ置かれた源は軍隊から反対にもかかわらずそれを、政府英本国の兵器庫の集り軍需品を取り払うために準備される昨日明らかに作った: イラクのそして前にレバノンの攻撃の2003年の侵入の間に2年使用されるlsraeli設計されていたM85ミサイル発射機の武器; そしてM73、アパッシュのヘリコプターのための兵器システムの部分。

「総理大臣によってこのプロセスの後ろに非常にあり、私達が[条約]」は署名してほしい、年長の外務省の源は昨日言った。

話の議長を務めているアイルランドは条約のテキストに今夜採用されてほしい。 「私達が私達がM85およびM73 ″を失うと条約に参加すれば、源は言った。 イギリス力がM85武器をすぐに取り払うことができるように政府は幸せな間、「M73sのための期間」を停止することがほしいと思う。

今日確認されると期待される一致はFOに対するおよび国際的な開発のための部門国防省を凹めたWhitehallの長期の論争を終える。 MoDは兵器庫の収束爆弾の数が「操作上敏感」であるが、それらを退役させることが数千万のポンドを要することを認めることを言う。

話の関係者はまだ苛立たせられた質問に禁止に参加する国からの軍隊がそれらの操作で行くことができるかどうかの特に米国昨晩巻き込まれた。 それらに他の条約の責任の違反をそうすることを防ぐことにある、特にNATOをもたらすことができと、深刻で実用的な含意が含む、イギリスの役人は言う。 政府はまた米国がイギリスのアメリカの基盤で集りの武器を備蓄するようにたいと思う。

圧力は米国で応用それらを禁止した国との統合作戦で集りの武器を使用しないために、役人提案するである。

集りの武器は広域上の小さい「bomblets」を分散させるので非常に論争の的になる。 Many of them do not explode on impact and are activated later by civilians. They caused more than 200 civilian casualties in the year after the Lebanon ceasefire, and more civilian casualties in Iraq in 2003 and Kosovo in 1999 than any other weapon system.

The M85 was fired by British troops around Basra during the invasion of Iraq. According to the MoD, they made a “direct contribution to saving the lives of UK service personnel”.

The M73 rocket, part of the Apache’s weapons system, is fired from pods on the attack helicopters and can also be fitted to Harrier jets. In its defence of their use, MoD officials have argued that they were “direct fire” weapons - in other words a pilot firing them can see the target - and that a single weapon had fewer than 10 “bomblets”.

However, that figure refers to the number in just one rocket pod, and an Apache can carry a total of 684 in its cluster weapons, campaigners say.

Human rights groups campaigning for a ban on all cluster bombs said yesterday the planned treaty was being threatened by the refusal of the US to remove stocks from its airforce bases on UK territory.

Simon Conway, a former soldier and the director of Landmine Action UK, said: “Gordon Brown has pushed the Dublin negotiations in the right direction. Now is the time for him to have the courage of his convictions and tell the US that it cannot store these outdated and indiscriminate weapons on UK soil.”

Article 1 of the planned treaty, due to be signed in Oslo in early December, prohibits assistance with the use, transfer and stockpiling of cluster munitions. The US, Israel, Russia, China, India and Pakistan are not taking part in the talks.
