Iran

Available data on contamination and land release of cluster munition-affected areas in Iran continue to be extremely limited. There is some evidence to suggest that several submunitions were found in 2022 during commercial clearance operations.

• Iran should accede to the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) as a matter of priority.
• Iran should comply with its obligations under international human rights law to clear cluster munition remnants (CMR) on territory under its jurisdiction or control as soon as possible.
• Iran should report publicly on the extent and location of CMR and prepare a plan for their clearance and destruction.
