It is always possible that the ratification of a bill that is not up to par can encourage other countries to follow the same path. Of course, that is one of our concerns.
The major goal of the convention is to eliminate those weapons and to make sure they are stigmatized. Clause 11 of the bill has three parts that need to be corrected, in our view.
