UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Didier Drogba: Cluster Munitions

Soccer star Didier Drogba is a UNDP Goodwill Ambassador for the fight against poverty and prevention of conflict. Concerned by the unacceptable harm that cluster bombscause to civilians, Didier Drogba has participated in advocacy efforts to prohibit cluster munitions. Familiar with the impact of war on individuals, families and communities in his own country, Mr Drogba has issued the following message on cluster bombs: I hope that the international community, with the support of the United Nations, can take this opportunity to make this dreadful weapon illegal, and in doing so give people and communities around the world the chance to live in peace and prosperity. This video message from Mr. Drogba was also delivered to representatives of Government and civil society at the African Regional Meeting on Cluster Munitions held in Kampala, Uganda in September 2008.
