全球反集束彈藥聯盟呼籲，在這次利比亞戰事中，簽署集束彈藥公約的締約國應確保尚未簽署的國家不要使用集束彈藥。

The Cluster Munition Coalition (CMC) urges all countries that have joined the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) to help ensure that cluster munitions are not used by states that have not yet joined the Convention in any military action in Libya.

聯合國安全理事會1973號決議請求各國盡全力保護平民與平民居住區。任何集束彈藥的使用都是違背此項決議，因為已有資料顯示，在戰事中使用集束彈藥，必定會造成平民傷害。

UN Security Council resolution 1973 calls on states to take all measures to protect civilians and civilian-populated areas. Any use of cluster munitions would run contrary to purpose of the resolution, as cluster munitions have been well documented to cause predictable harm to civilians in every conflict in which they have been used.

所有集束彈藥公約締約國皆有落實並倡議公約規範的義務，如同公約第二十一條規定，會員國應阻止非會員國使用集束彈藥。全球反集束彈藥聯盟號召所有加入集束彈藥公約的國家共同呼籲，在此次利比亞的軍事活動中，非集束彈藥公約會員國不應使用集束彈藥。

All States Parties to the CCM have a legal obligation to implement the Convention and promote its norms, including discouraging States not Party to the Convention from using cluster munitions, as stated under Article 21 of the Convention.  The CMC calls on all states that have joined the Convention on Cluster Munitions to urge States not Party to the Convention to explicitly rule out any use of cluster munitions in military operations in Libya. 

集束彈藥公約於寮國永珍所舉辦的第一次會議中，締約國通過了「永珍行動計畫」，該行動計畫重申所有國家應呼籲禁止集束彈藥的使用。全球反集束彈藥聯盟同時也呼籲利比亞不要使用庫存的集束彈藥，並應加入集束彈藥公約。

At the First Meeting of States Parties to the Convention on Cluster Munitions that took place in Vientiane, Lao PDR, States Parties reiterated their obligations under the Convention by adopting the 2010 Vientiane Action Plan, which urges all States Parties to “discourage in every way” any use of cluster munitions.  The CMC also calls on Libya not to use any of its stockpile of cluster munitions, and to join the Convention on Cluster Munitions.
