SUMMARY:2010: Entry into force of UN Convention on Cluster Munitions
DESCRIPTION:The Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) prohibits all use\, stockpiling\, production and transfer of Cluster Munitions. The CCM was adopted in Dublin on 30 May 2008. It has 108 signatories. The Convention became binding international law when it entered into force on 1 August 2010 after 30 States – including the Vatican City State – had ratified it. As of September 2011\, 60 States have ratified the CCM and future States Parties will accede to the Convention by submitting their ratifications to the United Nations. \n\n\n\nWhy does the Church Opposes Cluster Munitions?\n\n\n\nThe use of force must be a last resort\, and it can only be considered for the defense of innocent lives.  Even if these conditions are met\, the use of force must discriminate or distinguish between combatants and civilians\, and the suffering caused must not be greater than the good to be achieved.  Cluster munitions are not able to meet these tests. Sandie Cornish\, Why Cluster Bombs Should be Banned\, Social Spirituality\n\n\n\nFind out more on Church teaching and cluster bombs here. \n\n\n\nTake Action\n\n\n\nFind out about the Cluster Munition Coalition and how you can support its work. You will find plenty of resources for action here.

SUMMARY:1945: Destruction of Hiroshima by atomic bomb
DESCRIPTION:“With deep conviction I wish once more to declare that the use of atomic energy for purposes of war is today\, more than ever\, a crime not only against the dignity of human beings but against any possible future for our common home.  The use of atomic energy for purposes of war is immoral\, just as the possessing of nuclear weapons is immoral\, as I already said two years ago.  We will be judged on this. Future generations will rise to condemn our failure if we spoke of peace but did not act to bring it about among the peoples of the earth.  How can we speak of peace even as we build terrifying new weapons of war?  How can we speak about peace even as we justify illegitimate actions by speeches filled with discrimination and hate?” Pope Francis\, Address at the Peace Memorial\, Hiroshima\, 24 November 2019.\n\n\n\nThe hibakusha\, as the survivors of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are known\, are becoming fewer. You can read the story of Junko\, who now lives in Sydney\, here. \n\n\n\nPope John Paul II was the first Pope to visit Hiroshima. You can read his address from 1981 here. It was in response to this address that the Catholic Bishops of Japan established the 10 Days for Peace which run from 6 to 15 August. This is a good time to pray for peace and nuclear disarmament. \n\n\n\nYou can find more information about the atomic bombs here.

SUMMARY:1945: Destruction of Nagasaki by atomic bomb

SUMMARY:International Day of the Victims of Forced Disappearances
DESCRIPTION:Enforced disappearance has frequently been used as a strategy to spread terror within the society. The feeling of insecurity generated by this practice is not limited to the close relatives of the disappeared\, but also affects their communities and society as a whole. Special attention must also be paid to specific groups of especially vulnerable people\, like children and people with disabilities. Find out more here.
