【CGTN求实论事 ｜死亡之蝶 ：集束炸弹的杀戮 】半个世纪前，美国曾在越南、老挝等地投放过数百万枚集束炸弹。至今，仍有当地人因哑弹爆炸而亡。美国向乌克兰提供集束炸弹的决定将迫使冲突区内的人们在未来的半个世纪乃至更长时期承受相同的命运。联合国、美国盟友甚至美国民众都反对这一决定。《纽约时报》的社论因这种武器造成的“无差别的屠戮”而将集束炸弹形容为“在道德上令人作呕”。现在的问题是：国际社会是选择继续做这一可怕选择的旁观者，还是会追究相关方责任？

Half a century ago, the United States dropped millions of cluster munitions in Vietnam and Laos. To this day, people in the region still die from dud bomb explosions. U.S.’s decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine will doom people in the conflict zone to the same fate for the next half a century or more. UN, U.S. allies, and even the American people themselves oppose this decision. The New York Times editorial describes this weapon as “morally repugnant” because of its “indiscriminate carnage.” Now the question is: Will the global community remain a passive observer of this horrific choice? Or will the international community hold the U.S. accountable for its actions? CGTN的微博视频
