Disarmament Campaign News:Campaign Message to Brazil During World Cup
The Campaign sent a message to Brazil asking them to join the Convention on Cluster Munitions during the World Cup.

Dear Foreign Minister of Brazil,

We are so happy to watch the World Cup in your country.

Last year we survivors of land mines and cluster bombs played our own soccer cup against the Cambodian army and the deminers and guess what we won!
One man with no arms played a marvelous game with his head and a refugee goalkeeper kept the army out of the goal posts.

We want Brazil to accede to the Cluster Munitions Convention and set a stunning new goal for Brazil. Be part of the world community of nations that outlaws these weapons that harm so many small poor people!
Come on Brazil you can win this World Cup!!!

Tun Channareth, Sak Sopheak, Song Kosal and all the friends of the Cambodian Campaign against Cluster munitions
