Cluster bomb manufacture and stockpiling banned under the Oslo Treaty
A momentous indication of the future impact of the treaty came with the most positive announcement of the day - that Afghanistan is signing the CCM! In an exceptionally memorable moment, Afghanistan announced that just two hours earlier, President Hamid Karzai approved instructions for Afghanistan to sign the CCM. Massive applause erupted from the City Hall.

Until this morning, Afghanistan was not going to be a signatory, as Afghanistan is effectively at war, the representative said, and one of the most heavily affected countries by cluster munitions. However, the recognition of the plight of thousands of victims and Afghanistan’s aspirations to a world that is free of arms and munitions meant that Afghanistan would sign the CCM.

Afghanistan said that it needed to ensure its partners that are fighting the war on terror alongside the Afghani people that Afghanistan’s signing will not affect its effort, but will in fact increase its ability, and is in-line with its vital national security interests. Afghanistan concluded by thanking the many Afghans whose efforts and activism lead the President to take the decision for Afghanistan to sign in Oslo today, in particular Soraj, Suleiman, and Firoz, who have spared not effort to bring their country on board.

Immensely gratifying, countries that had previously sought to keep their cluster munitions took the floor proudly supporting and promoting the CCM. Others proudly stated their long-term commitment to the Oslo Process and appreciation for its extraordinary result.

Reflecting on Norway’s essential role in launching and driving the Oslo Process to secure a comprehensive ban on cluster munitions, Minister of Environment and International Development, Erik Solheim, stated that when asked if this could be done, he replied with the most powerful slogan of 2008 - “Yes, we can!” State after state took the floor to thank Norway for its commitment to ensuring the remarkably successful and timely outcome of the Oslo Process..

Other inspiring statements included strong words from the UK’s Foreign Secretary David Miliband emphasizing that today’s success is not the end, but only the beginning. We need to tell those not here in Oslo that the world has changed, and we have changed it, and a new norm has been created, Mr. Miliband said.

Come rain or shine

The protest goes on
