Global Week of Action against Cluster Bombs
Global Week of Action to Ban Cluster Bombs, 27 October – 2 November 2008
The Global Week of Action will run from Monday 27 October until Sunday 2 November 2008, approximately one month before the December signing ceremony. The overall purpose of the Week of Action (WOA) will be to raise public and media awareness of the upcoming signing ceremony in Oslo. It will be an opportunity for national campaigns to call on their governments to sign the treaty. The WOA will emphasize the need for all countries to sign the Convention in Oslo, Norway on 3 December 2008. All campaigners should develop their own messaging and actions appropriate to their local context, on one or more of the days within the WOA, drawing strength from the knowledge that action will take place in countries around the world during the same week so that the global CMC presents itself as united in its demands. Campaigners are encouraged to hold public events and photo opportunities that will engage the public and get media coverage. There will be 2 main actions for the WOA: 1) the People’s Treaty: campaigners should hold events and organise viral actions to encourage additional signatures and use the support of high profile individuals to champion the cause in their country and secure media coverage, as well as delivering national petitions to their governments in advance of the signing ceremony and 2) the disinvestment campaign: organising campaign actions calling on banks and major financial institutions to disinvest in cluster bomb manufacturers and governments to make investments illegal in national law, and by placing disinvestment campaign adverts in national newspapers and in public places. A toolkit and campaign briefing on the Global Day of Action will be disseminated electronically in August.
