Treaty Banning Napalm


If you're interested, here is the background about the United States and the "treaty" about napalm. LINK. The actual treaty is here, I believe. The United States signed the original CCW on April 8, 1982. It entered into force on December 2, 1983. In March 1995, the U.S. Senate ratified Protocols I and II. At the time, Protocol III was not transmitted to the Senate and was instead given further study owing to certain military concerns which have since been addressed. In January 1997, the President submitted to Congress the amended Protocol II, along with Protocols III and IV, for ratification. It was not ratified. Here is a list of which nations have ratified the treaty.

A careful read of the protocols seems to suggest that naplam was banned for use against civilian targets and against military targets close to civilians. There was no ban against the use of napalm against exclusively military targets.
