The Cluster Munition Coalition (CMC) is pleased to invite you to a global press conference in Bangkok to mark the entry into force of the Convention on Cluster Munitions, the new international treaty banning cluster bombs.

This is the principal CMC press event around the world. Campaigners from the CMC, including a cluster munition survivor, as well as representatives of the Lao government, the United Nations, and the ICRC will welcome the new cluster bomb ban treaty and explain what the ban will mean for Southeast Asia and the world, in particular for individuals and communities affected by the weapon.

This is the first treaty in more than a decade to ban an entire category of weapons and requires extensive victim assistance and land clearance.
