Armenia

IIn 2025, the Centre for Humanitarian Demining and Expertise (CHDE) cleared 72,107m² of battle area, which included cluster munition remnants (CMR), slightly less than the 75,186m² it cleared in 2024. In addition, it released 53,310m² of battle area through survey, in contrast with 2024, when no battle area containing CMR was released through survey. The release of CMR in 2025 was a further partial clearance of a confirmed hazardous area (CHA) in Vayots Dzor province. No other cluster munition-contaminated area was released during the year.

• Armenia should commit to never again use cluster munitions and should accede to the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) as a matter of priority.
• In the meantime, Armenia should comply with its obligations under international human rights law to clear CMR on territory under its jurisdiction or control as soon as possible.
• Armenia should submit voluntary Article 7 reports annually under the CCM.
• Armenia should expedite the adoption of national mine action legislation.
• Armenia should clarify the extent of remaining cluster munition-contaminated area as soon as possible.
• Armenia should disaggregate contamination and clearance of CMR from other explosive remnants of war (ERW) and landmines.
