A communication from the Delàs Center of Studies for Peace about the modification of the Law 33/1998 prohibiting antipersonnel mines and other arms with similar effects.
The Delàs Center of Studies for Peace, as an entity which has long promoted the campaign Stop Inversiones Explosivas (Stop investing in Explosives), we have the enormous satisfaction to announce that the campaign has been a success. We’ve achieved the total explicit prohibition of all financial investment of cluster bombs, antipersonnel mines and weapons with similar effects.
Thanks to the success of the Stop Explosive Investments campaign, Spain is now the 10th country to prohibit investments in cluster munitions.
The
July 28th Law 27/2015, which modifies the Law 33/1998 prohibiting
antipersonnel mines and arms with similar effects, now also prohibits
investments in these arms.
The
passing of this law is a new step forward in disarming and peace. Now,
in addition to prohibiting the use, production, sale, purchase, or
possession of cluster weapons as defined by a global agreement in 2008
signed by 107 countries, Spanish financial organizations will no longer
be able to finance the production of these terrible weapons in countries
which have still not signed the treaty.
The Delàs Center will continue working to denounce investments in the arms industry from the campaigns Banca Armada (Armed Banks), BBVA Sin Armas (Disarm BBVA), Caixabank Sin Armas (Disarm CaixaBank) and Banco Sabadell Sin Armas (Disarm Sabadell Bank).
