The Convention on Cluster Munitions is an attempt to limit the sovereignty of the United States by banning all forms of cluster bombs. It is supported by every country that does not manufacture the bombs, and opposed by the U.S., China, Russia, India, and other producers of weapons. It was initially believed that the United Kingdom would oppose the treaty, but after lobbying from France, Gordon Brown caved in to the liberals' desire to further divide the U.S. and U.K.

Despite the convention's high-minded ideals, it was realized that none of the countries could survive without ties to the U.S., so a provision was added allowing signatories to maintain normal relations with non-signatories. As such, the convention has little to no effect on the world. That didn't stop Wikipedia from featuring it on their main page, of course.
