Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons

The Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) is an international treaty aimed at limiting or banning specific types of conventional weapons that can cause excessive or unnecessary suffering, or have a indiscriminate impact on civilians. It encourages countries to develop rules and share information to prevent misuse of weapons like landmines, booby traps, and incendiary devices. The goal is to reduce harm during conflicts while balancing military needs with humanitarian concerns. The CCW promotes responsible warfare through agreements that protect civilians and reduce the long-term dangers of certain weapons.
