80 Countries Now Supporting Oslo Process to Ban Cluster Munitions 5 September 2007 (San Jose, Costa Rica, 5 September 2007) – At the first regional Latin American Conference on Cluster Munitions, four additional countries pledged their support for the Oslo Process aimed at a new international treaty banning cluster munitions in 2008. With the new commitments from El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Uruguay, a total of 80 countries are participating in the Oslo Process. Eighteen Latin American governments gathered in San Jose, Costa Rica on 4-5 September in a regional meeting designed to build support for the movement to conclude a new treaty next year prohibiting the use, production, trade and stockpiling of cluster munitions that cause unacceptable harm to civilians. Only Cuba declined the invitation to participate.
