Barbados has not yet acceded to the Convention on Cluster Munitions. Barbados did not participate in the Oslo Process that created the convention. It has never made an official statement on the issue or attended a meeting on cluster munitions.

Barbados voted in favor of UN General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 68/182 on 18 December 2013, which expressed “outrage” at Syria’s “continued widespread and systematic gross violations of human rights…including those involving the use of…cluster munitions.”[1]

Barbados is party to the Mine Ban Treaty. It has not joined the Convention on Conventional Weapons.

Barbados is not known to have used, produced, transferred, or stockpiled cluster munitions.
