in Oslo, this week. By coincidence, I am staying in the same hotel as a lot of the delegates.
And when meeting the delegates in the hotel, you see the pride in their faces to be part of this important step forward.
What still makes me wonder, why countries like the USA, Russia, China, Israel, India and Pakistan are not willing to join this convention – at least not at this point. History has shown that using Cluster Munition most of the harm comes over the civilians living in there area where the munition deployed. Hard to see the benefits towards military targets. And, looking at the global threat picture as again confirmed a few days ago in Mumbai, absolutely useless when it comes to fight against or defend terroristic attacks.
