Protocol 5 Of The Convention On Conventional Weapons (EDM1873)

Protocol 5 Of The Convention On Conventional Weapons

EDM number 1873 in 2005-06, proposed by Frank Cook on 22/03/2006.

That this House recognises the serious post-conflict humanitarian problems caused by explosive remnants of war (ERW) and is conscious of the need to minimise the risks and effects of ERW; notes the significant contribution made by the UK to date in post-conflict clearance of ERW but is deeply concerned that despite an assurance made by the Minister of State for the Armed Forces in April 2004 that the UK would aim to ratify Protocol 5 of the Convention on Conventional Weapons (CCW) by the end of 2004, the Protocol has still not been ratified; believes that the UK should be one of the first 20 nations to ratify Protocol 5 of the CCW to set an example to other state parties; and therefore calls upon the Government to ratify the Protocol at the earliest opportunity.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
