The Global Day of Action to Ban Cluster Bombs is a designated day of action to highlight 40 years of civilian deaths and injuries caused by cluster bombs. Citizens around the world will use this day to call on governments to take action now and make history.

The Global Day of Action takes place 1 month before the Dublin Diplomatic Conference on Cluster Munitions. In Australia, a week of action is planned (see link below).

At the Dublin Conference (19 – 30 May 2008) governments from across the world will meet to negotiate the most significant disarmament treaty in more than a decade: a treaty that will bring about a ban on cluster bombs, rapid clearance of contaminated land and an increase in the vital assistance to those affected by cluster bombs.
