Merge

[edit]

Shouldn't this be merged into Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons?--Atlantima (talk) 20:07, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No - see also Protocol on Explosive Remnants of War. It's useful to have an overview page.

Incoherent light

[edit]
I hope it is written to limit the use of non-laser (incoherent) light as well: arc-lamps have been used to blind [citation needed] and LEDs are now too bright to look at.

Violations

[edit]

Article claims in the 'Violations' section that the Belarusian military violated the protocol IV of the CCWC. The source [1] Funker530, seems to be a blog-type website with user-sourced comments (see their about page in the footer). At any rate, the article doesn't claim this happened, hedging its claim:

"If true, this footage shows..."

As such, I've removed the section. My intent is not to hide violations of international law--happy to re-add this claim with a better source.
