Anti-cluster bomb campaign begins in Geneva

Human rights groups gathered in Geneva to kick off a "week of action" to encourage countries to sign and ratify the treaty to ban cluster bombs.

Within Europe, Germany, Britain and the Netherlands rank among the biggest stockpilers with a combined total of just under 96 million cluster bombs. The country with the most bombs by far, 730 million, is the United States, which has not joined the treaty.
