The Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish versions of the Convention on Cluster Munitions are official and equally authentic. They will be included in this section as they are made available.
"Article 22: Authentic texts. The original of this Convention, of which the Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish texts are equally authentic, shall be deposited with the Secretary-General of the United Nations."
On this page you will find the six UN authentic texts of the treaty as well as other translations. The additional translations have been done by governments and ICBL campaigns. While the ICBL itself cannot vouch for the correctness of any of these translations (should they be used for legal disputes please also refer to the UN original languages) we hope they will be of use.
If you have translated the Mine Ban Treaty into a language that is not listed here, please let us know and we will upload to this site! E-mail: webmaster@icbl.org.
The UN versions are also available on the United Nations webserver http://untreaty.un.org/ and www.gichd.ch.
