Take action and help stop the funding of cluster bomb producers
1. Contact your bank
Are you funding cluster bombs? Ask your bank and pension fund.
- You can also find a list of cluster bomb producing companies and check whether your bank or pension fund is listed in the ‘Worldwide investments in cluster munitions report’
- You can also find a list of cluster bomb producing companies in the Banning Cluster Munitions report.
Many banks will be reluctant to provide this information, read the ‘disinvestment campaign guide’ (PDF) for tips on how to contact your bank, what they are likely to tell you and how you can respond.
If you find out that your bank or pension fund is funding cluster bomb production, contact them and ask them to:
- Immediately disinvest from cluster bomb producers
- Implement a comprehensive policy banning past and future investment in these weapons

Please let us know when you send letters and share copies of the responses that you get on the CMC disinvestment list disinvestment@stopclustermunitions.org
In countries that have not yet signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions, it is more appropriate to send letters to the government and parliamentarians urging them to sign the Convention. These can be downloaded from the CMC website.
