Over 100 countries agree to ban cluster bombs PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 30 May 2008
More than one 100 countries have signed a treaty in Dublin, Ireland, banning all cluster bombs.  

The US, Russia, and Israel which are considered as the big nations producing cluster bombs disagreed with the treaty.

The Spokesperson of the Irish Foreign Ministry said that all the participants in the Dublin Conference on the campaign against cluster bombs agreed to ban the bombs.

The contents of the agreement said that all the countries which signed the treaty agreed not to produce or stored any clusters bombs.

The countries which signed the treaty believed that this is an integral step in the process of securing a genuinely universal system of human rights, without which the prospects for peace, reconciliation, and justice will remain permanently overshadowed by the inhumane use of such weapons.

Cluster bombs have killed and mutilated 1000 of civilians over the past 40 years in the world.
