The Lithuanian government has approved a draft resolution proposing that the parliament denounce the Convention on Cluster Munitions, a treaty that bans the use, production, and acquisition of these controversial weapons. The Defence Ministry, which drafted the resolution, argues that withdrawing from the convention would allow Lithuania to acquire, stockpile, and, if necessary, use cluster munitions for its defence.
