Original Note:
The use of cluster munitions itself does not violate international law. Whether it constitutes a war crime depends on whether the target was legitimate and if precautions were taken to avoid civilian casualties. https://lieber.westpoint.edu/cluster-munitions-ukraine-war/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_Cluster_Munitions
