CCW (Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons)

The Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) is an international treaty aimed at restricting or banning specific conventional weapons that can cause unnecessary suffering or have harmful effects on civilians and the environment. It addresses weapons like landmines, incendiary devices, and lasers, establishing rules for their use to promote humanitarian concerns and reduce their dangers in armed conflicts. By encouraging responsible weapon management and limiting their impact, the CCW seeks to balance military needs with civilian safety and international humanitarian principles.
