Tunisia

The Republic of Tunisia signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions on 12 January 2009 at the UN in New York. It was the first country to sign since the Oslo signing conference in December 2008, the 95th signatory overall, and one of only two from the Middle East/North Africa region.

While Tunisia participated in the Livingstone Regional Conference on Cluster Munitions in March 2008, it did not participate in any of the four international conferences of the Oslo Process to develop the treaty in 2007 and 2008, or the formal negotiations in Dublin in May 2008.

Tunisia is party to the Convention on Conventional Weapons (CCW), and ratified Protocol V on Explosive Remnants of War on 7 March 2008. Tunisia attended the CCW sessions on cluster munitions throughout 2008.

Tunisia is not believed to have used, produced, stockpiled, or transferred cluster munitions.
