Vår kjære allierte gjør nå sitt beste for å reversere forbudet vi fikk
for tre år siden
og sørge for at dette grusomme våpenet igjen kan brukes.
Jeg har signert henstillingen - petition her.

Dear friends,
< http://www.avaaz.org/en/cluster_bombs_ii_b/?cl=1384174771&v=11086
In days, the *US could push through a new law to allow the use of
cluster bombs -- a banned lethal weapon that kills children in
playgrounds years after wars have ended*. But if we build a massive
campaign now, we can persuade other governments to stop the US and stop
these weapons being used. *Sign the urgent petition to save our children
now!*

Ahmad picked up a bright metal object in a park where he was celebrating
his 5th birthday in Lebanon. It was an unexploded cluster bomblet, which
blew up in his face, killing him slowly in front of his family.
*Three years ago, public pressure pushed through a ban of these cruel
bombs*. But now *the US is lobbying nations to quietly sign a new law
that allows their use -- signing the death warrant for thousands of
other children*. Most countries are still on the fence on how to vote.
Only if we raise the alarm across the world can we shame our governments
to block this deadly decision.
Positions are being drawn up now. We *only have days until countries
meet to send our leaders a clear message: stand up for the cluster bombs
ban and keep our children safe. Click below to sign the petition* -- it
will be delivered directly to delegates at the Geneva conference:

< http://www.avaaz.org/en/cluster_bombs_ii_b/?cl=1384174771&v=11086
*Thousands of people -- many of them children -- have been maimed or
killed by these bombs*. When they are fired, they spray small "bomblets"
over a wide area, many of which fail to explode. Years later, people
disturb them in their fields or school playgrounds not knowing what they
are, and they explode.
In 2008, over half of the world’s governments outlawed these weapons by
signing the Convention on Cluster Munitions. But now, shockingly,
countries like France, Germany, Italy, Sweden and the UK, who all signed
the Convention, are under pressure from the US, China and Russia to run
rings round the ban by signing a separate agreement that would allow
them to use cluster munitions. Only Norway, Mexico, Austria and a few
others are fighting this horror.
Negotiators at the Convention on Conventional Weapons meet in Geneva
next week. Most governments don’t really want this protocol and have not
said which way they will vote, but they are under severe pressure from
the US to comply and will only object if the global public persuades them.
*There’s no time to lose -- the conference starts on Monday. Let's call
on our governments to reject this deadly and cynical US campaign to
legalize cluster killing. Click below to sign the petition* and forward
this email widely -- we've done it before, let's do it again:

Cluster bombs and land mines were banned because citizens raised the
alarm across the world -- with victims and survivors leading the way.
For their sakes and to ensure no more lives are lost, let’s not allow
these cruel weapons back and join together now to demand a more peaceful
world.
With hope,
Alex, Stephanie, Alice, Ricken, Laura, Nicholas, Wissam, and the whole
Avaaz team

(videresendt af Arne Hansen med den varmeste anbefaling Dette må alle, - og jeg mener ALLE -
kunne skrive under på! - og mere end en halv million har også strak gjort det.
Jeg har haft kontakt med den kendte norske fredsaktivist og advokat Fredrik
Heffermehl og videresendt mange væsentlige mails fra ham (bl.a. opponerede han
imod Nobels fredspris til Obama som forhastet)
- og den samme kontakt med den vidtfavnende globale fredsorganisation Avaaz
Med fare for "at blande tingene sammen" så er en del af årsagen til at jeg
bliver aldeles oprørt, at jeg jeg lige har været med i Dansk Flygtningehjælps
landsindsamlingskampagne "Hvor der er krig er der flygtninge, de har brug for
din hjælp" Og netop klyngebomber som i mange år efter kriges ophør stadig sårer
og dræber mange uskyldige børn i legealderen er med til at afskrække
tilbagevenden og holde flygtningetallet oppe. Derfor ere Dansk Flygtningehjælp,
Folkekirkens Nødhjælp m.fl. nødhjælpsorganistioner netop også engageret i
rydning af miner inkl. klyngebomber.
Her kan vi være med til at forhindre og forebygge endnu flere og hårdere sårede
uskyldige børn og pårørende civile mangeårige krigsflygtninge (endog uden at
skulle have tegnebogen eller dankortet op ad lommen).
Måske kan du bruge 10 sekunder af dit lange liv i fred for klyngebomber?
Så klik straks på

- og handl på det hvem der har muligheden
fredeligst

Jeg har også rundsendt nedenstående til læserbrevsredaktioner:
Til Debatredaktionen.
Jeg har oversat denne presserende mail fra en norsk bekendt:
”Vore kære allierede gør nu deres bedste for at tilbagerulle det forbud mod klyngebomber vi fik for 3 år siden og sørge for at dette grusomme våben igen kan bruges. Jeg har underskrevet appellen her:
https://secure.avaaz.org/en/cluster_bombs_ii_b/?aqYAaab
Jeg vil gerne have flere med ?

Netop klyngebomber som i mange år efter kriges ophør stadig sårer

tilbagevenden og forøge antallet af flygtninge over tiden.

Jeg vil gerne også opfordre danskerne til at skrive under .
