On February 10, MCC U.S. Executive Director Rolando Santiago joined 66 other leaders of national organizations to sign a letter urging the Obama Administration to review U.S. policy on landmines and cluster bombs. Here is an excerpt from the letter:
Your election stirred great excitement in this country and abroad in large part because of your clear commitment to restoring U.S. moral leadership in the world. Reconsidering these two treaties – and eliminating the threat that U.S. forces might use weapons that most of the world has condemned – would greatly add efforts to reassert our nation’s moral leadership.
