Tuvalu has not yet acceded to the Convention on Cluster Munitions.
Tuvalu did not participate in the Oslo Process and has never attended a meeting on cluster munitions or made a public statement on the convention.

Tuvalu has voted in favor of UN General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 68/182 on 18 December 2013 condemning the Syrian government’s use of cluster munitions, which expressed “outrage” at “continued widespread and systematic gross violations of human rights…including those involving the use of…cluster munitions.”[3]
Tuvalu is a State Party to the Mine Ban Treaty.
Tuvalu is not known to have ever used, produced, transferred, or stockpiled cluster munitions.
