Key Developments
In 2022, Germany more than doubled its clearance output from the previous year but still fell short of its clearance target for the year. Germany has reported that it is now at full clearance capacity but will need to increase its clearance output further still in 2023 in order to have a chance of meeting its Article 4 deadline of August 2025.
Recommendations for Action
- Germany should improve its reporting by ensuring that its annual Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) Article 7 transparency report complies with the treaty requirements, by reporting the annual cluster munition remnants (CMR) clearance output for the reporting period rather than just a cumulative total.
- Germany should produce an updated work plan with revised annual clearance targets to 2025 based on current capacities.
