A Peaceful Legacy: Campaign to Remove Bombs from Laos

Laos is the most bombed country in history as a result of U.S. bombings from 1964-1973, leaving close to half of the country contaminated with vast quantities of unexploded ordnances, including 45-75 million cluster bombs that litter forests, rice fields, villages, school grounds, roads, and other populated areas.

Over 34,000 people have been killed or injured since the bombing ceased, most of whom are children. And now, nearly 40 years after the last bombs were dropped, over 300 new casualties occur each year.

To stop the continued harm and suffering of innocent lives, we can do something.

Tell the U.S. government to increase funding for cluster bomb removal in Laos and assist victims and affected families.
