A look back at last week's 13th Meeting of States Parties to the Convention on Cluster Munitions.
MAG shared our experience from working in affected countries, and called for stronger action to protect civilians from this ongoing threat. #CCM13MSP
In its #CCM13MSP General exchange of views, NPA's Dagmar Matúšů emphasized that in times of growing conflict, states must stand firm and oppose any attempts to weaken the hum. disarmament norms they collectively established. Civilians’ safety must remain the highest priority.
Nearly 20 years later, the message is the same:
🚫 Cluster munitions = unacceptable civilian harm.
Join NPA tomorrow for the re-launch of our M85 study at #CCM13MSP
