It is not the " blame the USA " game .... As stated, the 2 other major powers - arms manufacturer are not on board either...
The USA, or Russia to that effect have not necessarely used them on countries, but they do manufacture and sell them for profit ... So they end up being used in Africa at large ,,,
The USA are using them/providing them to Ethiopia ( against Somalia ) as well as Nigeria ( gov troops to bomb the so-called insurgents / terrorists / Al-Quaeda .... And they sometimes supply both sides of the conflict.
Now, contrary to China and Russia , the USA claims to be the liberator, the freedom spreader, the human rights defender, the world police taking care of the bullies , so by not signing this agreement it shows the true face of the country
