                                                                The  use  of  explosive  weapons,  such  as  bombs,  rockets,  and  mortar  and  
artillery  shells,  in  cities,  towns  and  villages  and  in  other  populated  areas  
has devastating humanitarian consequences. Explosive weapons act mainly 
through the projection of blast and fragmentation wi...thin an area. Their use, 
in  populated  areas,  causes  severe  suffering  to  civilians,  both  in  terms  of  
death and serious injury resulting directly from the explosion, and in terms 
of damage to property and public infrastructure, which can indirectly affect 
civilian well-being and survival, sometimes for many years after a conflict 
has ended. Explosive weapons also leave behind explosive remnants that 
pose a threat to populations until those remnants are removed. [...] The study finds that the regulation of explosive weapons under international 
law  and  policy  is  fragmentary  and  incoherent.
