The cluster bomb conference

Thursday February 21st, 2008. 10:27 am by frog

An international conference attempting to ban cluster bombs has been meeting in Wellington for the last two days. This first video explains what the problem is, what’s at stake and what anti-munitions campaigners at the conference hope to achieve. Keith Locke has been attending the conference and many of the associated anti-munitions activities around and outside the conference.

This second video though describes what is happening at the conference itself and seems to suggest some countries are dragging their feet.

    It’s pretty shameful that this isn’t getting the strong support it so clearly deserves. If “precision strike” bombings are so effective, what do modern superpowers need cluster bombs for?
