The Global Week of Action Against Cluster Bombs took place from 29 May-4 June 2009, one year after the historic negotiations and formal adoption of the Convention on Cluster Munitions in Dublin, Ireland on 30 May 2008.
Campaigners in 58 countries participated in the week of action calling on governments to sign and ratify the Convention through letter actions, meetings and workshops, photo exhibitions and film screenings. Campaigners challenged decision-makers and fellow citizens with the question “What are you doing to ban cluster bombs?” An impressive number of 750 campaigners and other supportive individuals took part in the global ‘Tell Them to Sign’ email action which targeted 5 non signatory states and helped encourage Nigeria to sign a few days later.
A full report will be available soon.
