The youth campaigners of the Sri Lanka Campaign to Ban Landmines (SLCBL) had the opportunity to participate in the Mine Action Fellows Forum organized by the Mines Action Canada alongside the 10th Meeting of States Parties of the Convention on Cluster Munitions, at the UN Office in Geneva, Switzerland from 29th August to 2nd September.
As Mine Action Fellows, they were able to learn about the work of their peers at the Forum, and speak to delegations from around the world, focusing particularly on the importance of the #universalization of the Convention.
The fellows took a strong stance against the use of cluster munitions by anyone, anywhere and urged governments to join the Convention and fulfill the obligations of the Convention. The fellows delivered their statement on the 2nd September during the 10th Meeting of States Parties of the Convention on Cluster Munitions.
