Thailand has admitted using cluster bombs during four days of border fighting against Cambodia in February, campaigners say.
The Cluster Munition Coalition called the act "unconscionable and appalling".
The weapons were banned by an international convention three years ago, but neither Thailand nor Cambodia have signed the agreement.
Thailand had previously denied the allegation, as each of the countries accused the other of using the weapons.
Since then several humanitarian organisations have reported finding unexploded cluster bomblets in the border area around Preah Vihear temple.
And this evidence appears to have caused the shift in Bangkok's stance.
The Cluster Munition Coalition said Thailand had admitted firing the weapons, banned by more than 100 countries, after Cambodian heavy artillery had targeted civilian areas.
According to the campaigners, thousands of villagers are now at risk of death or serious injury because of unexploded bomblets near their homes.

The Thai army are the worst kind of dogs in Southeast Asia.
These dogs want nothing more than to see Cambodian civilian suffer.
When it come to fighting with these sissy/lady thai soldiers, you can forget about proper rule of engagement and weaponry.
It's FARE !!! ,as Hun sen use BM-31 fired to Thai civilian !
Where are Bangkok post, The Nation and others thai medias? Although,you've hidden your bad strick you did't publish it but, the INTERNATIONAL community has already known or released it throughout the world.
It's really many thai soldiers if we look outside they like human being but, inside as bad as animals or worse than animals. And their leader is the same guy????
Well...Since Cambodia has not signed the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions and the next round of military conflict with the Siem military thugs and Cambodian military must retaliate with cluster bombs!
If Cambodian military determine to stop Siem military thugs naked aggression and they have to upgrade their fire power by using cluster bombs and to cause maximum damages and casualty the same way the Siem military thugs have used cluster bombs to inflict maximum damages and casualty on Cambodia!
To win the war Cambodian must use the same fire power and the similar weapon!
Kill all the Khmers, fuck them, bomb them
Message for all Khmen, If you want peace, living with peace along the neigbour get out from Thais territory, such as: Steng Treng Siamrap, Batembong. The pravihan conflict is a part of small peace of Thais land but it's the big primarily step fo us to secuir the THAI's POWER.
You understand?
don't let siem thugs get away from this violation. imagine if cambodia were to do the same, siem would be all over us, really!
