Raed Mokaled: Victim and Ban Advocate

The Ban Advocates are a group of women and men from diverse cluster munitions affected communities. The Ban Advocates have experienced the violence, exclusion and poverty caused by those indiscriminate weapons. They advocate for a ban on cluster munitions and the full application of the rights of survivors and affected communities. The Ban Advocates are carefully following the negotiations of a treaty to ban cluster bombs through what is known as the “Oslo Process.” Part of their mission is for ensuring that a cluster munitions treaty document will be able to concretely improve the lives of people whose suffering has been caused by cluster munitions.
