‘The People’s Treaty’
What is the People’s Treaty?
The Cluster Munition Coalition, in collaboration with Mines Action Canada and Handicap International, launched the People’s Treaty on 30 May 2008 — the final day of the Dublin Diplomatic Conference on Cluster Munitions after the 111 participating states unanimously adopted the new treaty.
The People’s Treaty is a petition that people across the world are asked to sign to make sure that as many states as possible remain committed to sign the new treaty in Oslo from 2–3 December 2008. There are only six months between Dublin and Oslo to ensure that countries will be ready to sign and ratify the treaty so that it can become binding international law.
How can I take part?
There are two ways to sign the treaty: as an individual citizen or as a community leader representing a group, constituency, congregation or organization. Anyone can sign the People’s Treaty and everyone should. All signatures count! Sign your support for the International Ban on Cluster Bombs here. Let the world’s governments know the people are behind the Ban.
Friends of Lebanon is proud to be a member organisation of the Cluster Munition Coalition.
