What year did the UN ban the use of Napalm and other Incendiaries?

Question

Did the US sign on?

Do you agree with the decision?

C'mon.... it's a simple question.

And you get a chance to say what you think, too.

I screwed this Q up... I left out against civilian targets.

Got a glimpse of an earful of it on the History channel. You can also read about it at

So now there's enough info to answer this question.

And here is where I go fire up the coffee pot.

Answer 1

They didn't.

In fact there is no ban on these weapons.

Answer 2

no ban on the use of the weapon, there just hasn't been a NEED for the weapon, considering that in today's conflicts we use more precision guided weapons to destroy a single building incendiaries spread and cause lots of collateral damage. the most recently developed (and this was in the 80's) is the hades bomb which creates a large wall of fire for a few minutes.
