    Write to your MP

    Make sure that your local MP knows your views about cluster bombs! Your MP will have many opportunities to raise the issue of cluster munitions, both in Parliament and at public meetings.

    This will help to keep pressure on the UK government to take action on cluster bombs and fulfil their obligations under the Convention as soon as possible.
