July 2007 As pressure grows for a ban on cluster bombs, Holland has become the latest country to suspend their use. One of the decisive factors was the invasion of Lebanon, which left the country littered with bombs. As many as 40% of cluster bombs don't explode on impact. "They then become de facto landmines", explains campaigner John Rodsted. He was part of the Nobel-prize winning coalition that secured the landmine treaty in 1997. Now, many of the same people are collecting evidence in Lebanon which they hope will lead to a similar ban on cluster bombs. Produced by SBS/Dateline Distributed by Journeyman Pictures
