Cluster bombs, like land mines, keep killing after the war is long over.

"We think now that all of America's key allies have just renounced the weapon it will be very difficult for the US to engage in operations with countries who have banned this weapon and continue to use them," he said. Yeah, that exactly what will happen

In reality, our coalition partners will just ask us to take out whatever targets require cluster bombs for them.

Funny bit of Kraut politics: before the meeting the official position of our gov was that they need clusterbombs at all costs, now they found out they don't really do

Some campaigners do believe countries like the US will change, however. They cite the landmine treaty of 1997 that was never signed by the US, Israel, Russia or China, yet those nations have not used landmines since it came into effect.

Don't we still use the Claymore?

Don't we still use the Claymore? I don't believe those count as landmines.

And remember we don't currently use landmines, that doesn't mean we don't have them.

When in use by the U.S. Military, the M18A1 Claymore Anti-Personnel Mine is most often command-detonated. Such use is permitted by the Mine Ban Treaty. However, use of Claymore mines in uncontrolled (tripwire) mode is prohibited by the treaty.[5] From Wiki, so yes it depends on how they are used.
