This final of five daily action alerts issued by the Aotearoa New Zealand Cluster Munition Coalition targets VIETNAM, an affected country that has not yet decided if it will sign the Convention on Cluster Munitions this December…

Status
Between 1965 and 1973, the US dropped over 296,000 cluster bombs containing nearly 97 million submunitions on Vietnam. Many dud clusters remain lethal today.  An observer in the Oslo Process (including at the Wellington Conference in February 2008), Vietnam did not adopt the Convention on Cluster Munitions in May 2008.  Vietnam is believed to be undecided about signing the Convention in Oslo, Norway on 3 December.

Take Action
Please send a personal letter urging Vietnam to sign the Convention.
