Stop investments in Cluster Bomb producers!
Welcome to the Stop Explosive Investments campaign website, an initiative from the International Campaign to Ban Landmines and Cluster Munition Coalition in collaboration with Dutch peace organisation PAX.
In 2009 the Dutch organization PAX and Belgium organization Netwerk Vlaanderen (now FairFin) published the first research into investments in cluster munitions, working closely with the ICBL-CMC, in the joint campaign Stop Explosive Investments.
From 2009 – 2018 the Stop Explosive Investment campaign has delivered frequently updated research publications on financial investments in cluster munitions producers, highlighting good examples of financial institutions excluding investments on the one hand, and listing institutions worldwide that sustained investments in these producers on the other hand. The research also provided insight in different legislative initiatives of states to ban investments in cluster munitions. Worldwide actions have been implemented by civil society, to call upon their banks and financial institutions to seize these investments because of the unacceptable civilian harm these weapons cause.
This website provides you with info on what cluster munitions are, why they are banned, and the role of the financial sector in the production of these weapons.
