Cluster Munition Ban Policy• Macedonia signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions on 3 December

2008 and ratified on 8 October 2009. It was thus among the first 30 ratifications to trigger the convention’s entry into force on 1 August 2010.

• In November 2010, Macedonia stated that according to its Constitution the convention “becomes an integral part of our domestic legislation” after its ratification. In March 2011, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs official said that the report was in its final stage of preparation and would be submitted shortly.
