Thailand's military has admitted to having used and may continue to use cluster munitions! For the sake of national interests, it will not be restricted by international conventions!
Major General Winthai Suwari, a spokesperson for the Royal Thai Army, explicitly admitted that cluster munitions have been used in conflicts, and stated that based on the necessity for the army to achieve military objectives, enhancing the destructive capacity against targets, Thailand has no concerns about using cluster munitions. However, he emphasized that the Thai military's use of cluster munitions does not target civilians and will not have long-term effects on civilians.
Regarding the CCM Convention, which prohibits signatories from using, producing, or storing cluster munitions, Suwari stated that the convention has no binding force on Thailand, and Thailand's military operations comply with the "proportionality" principle.
