Ban The Bombs

As the international community is meeting in Dublin to ban cluster bombs - that saturate the ground with mini-bombs awaiting innocent civilians - our government is going out of its way to frustrate the process.

They're calling for their own stockpile to be excluded - and for the treaty to be watered down. We've got just a few scarce days left before the fragile international agreement is drafted. Sign the urgent petition today telling Kevin Rudd to ban the bomb: no loopholes, no exceptions.

Mr Rudd,

We believe that the international community needs a global agreement to categorically ban cluster munitions. We call upon you to ensure that Australia plays an active role in creating an international treaty that is without exceptions, exemptions or loopholes.


Campaign Update:
A comprehensive cluster munitions convention was signed in Dublin on May 30th, 2008. Australia signed agreeing not to use, develop, produce or acquire cluster munitions. The treaty is to have immediate application with all stockpiles to be destroyed within 8 years. Read more about the outcome here.
