U.S. Refuses to Attend Meeting on Cluster Ban

HeadlineMay 23, 2007

In Peru, dozens of countries are meeting in Lima this week to sign a declaration banning the use of cluster bombs. The declaration came out of a conference in Norway earlier this year. The U.S. is among several leading nations that have refused to attend. This is Cluster Munitions Coalition coordinator Thomas Nash.

Thomas Nash: “We think it’s a shame that countries like Brazil, the U.S., China and Russia don’t come to the conference. They are countries that produce and use cluster bombs. But I hope this process has an influence on them.”
