1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Cluster Munitions Civilian Protection Act of 2017 . 2. Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) The Convention on Cluster Munitions, done at Dublin May 30, 2008, and entered into force August 1, 2010, now has 100 States Parties, including Canada, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, and an additional 19 signatories. (2) The Convention on Cluster Munitions, which comprehensively bans the use, production, acquisition, export, or transfer of cluster munitions and requires the destruction of existing stockpiles, clearance of contaminated land, and assistance to cluster munition victims, has led to the destruction of nearly 1,400,000 cluster munitions containing more than 170,000,000 submunitions. (3) Under a policy issued in 2008 by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, by the end of 2018, the United States will no longer use cluster munitions anywhere in the world, unless, after arming, the cluster munitions do not result in more than 1 percent unexploded ordnance across the range of intended operational environments. (4) The CBU–105 Sensor Fuzed Weapon meets the standard established by Secretary Gates in 2008. 3. Limitation on the use of cluster munitions No funds appropriated or otherwise available to any Federal department or agency may be obligated or expended to purchase, transfer, issue a license for the export of, or use any cluster munitions unless— (1) the submunitions of the cluster munitions, after arming, do not result in more than 1 percent unexploded ordnance across the range of intended operational environments
