A conference in Oslo (for the Americans it is to be found in Norway which is to be found in Scandinavia which is to be found in Europe which is a continent in its own right) has seen the passage of a resolution calling for the banning of the production, sale and use of cluster weapons by 2008. The resolution passed by a vote of 46-3 with only Poland, Japan and Romania voted against. The China, Israel, Russia and the United States found that they had other things to do and didn't bother to attend.
At least they are consistent. China, Israel, Russia and the US have all refused to sign up to the land mine treaty as well.
