Probably correct - CS gas/OC spray and expanding bullets are
both controlled by the Hague Conventions on the conduct of
war.

However, I doubt thermobaric weapons are or would be controlled
by the conventions as their methodology of use is essentially
the same as any large artillery shell or aerial bomb.  Its the
tactical use of such weapons agains cities and their civilian
populations that might be considered a war crime.
