This week the Cluster Munition Coalition is in Addis Ababa for the Universalisation and Implementation Workshop for and by African States, co-organised by the Lao PDR, Presidency of the Third Review Conference, and Cameroon, Co-Coordinator on the General Status and Operation of the Convention.
Speaking on behalf of the CMC, our campaigner and Deputy Head of Chair Ayman Srour delivered a clear message ahead of the Third Review Conference this September by calling to:
1- Accelerate ratifications
2- Encourage accessions
3- Mobilize States Parties to actively engage their neighbours
Africa's leadership is central to getting us to a cluster-munition-free world.
