is a campaign of the United Nations Association of the USA, engaging
individuals, community groups, and businesses in the United Nations' effort
to resolve the global landmine crisis. The Campaign helps save lives by
raising funds for mine clearance and survivor assistance and by raising
awareness about the landmine issue, including unexploded ordinances from
cluster bombs.
Use this site to learn about the ongoing crisis; and especially to learn
what individuals and groups of dedicated people can do to eradicate
landmines and cluster bombs throughout the world.
"Here in
Dublin we have consigned cluster bombs to the dustbin of history and stigmatized
their use. With this historic agreement cluster bombs can never be used,
produced or transferred again and this is a victory for humanity," said
Thomas Nash, coordinator of the Cluster Munition Coalition.
