All signed....You know the one with regards to sex offenders having to register where they are employed? It just shows the difference between countries. In the UK we have a thing called 'The Sex Offenders Register' and if you are a child sex offender you are not allowed to work anywhere where you may be in contact with children.
It has failed on some occassions, but it mostly works.
It is great to know about this regulation in UK. I will go after it and see if we find some political support to have a Law on this restriction to be enforced here (in Brazil).

Thank you Renda and Ross for providing all these petitions for the children. I had signed a few and now I've signed them all. Thank-you for caring and assisting other's to help make a difference for the children.
In that policy you will find the following statement:
"Landmines still have a valid and essential role protecting United States forces in military operations. Landmines enable a commander to shape the battlefield to his advantage."
Now that most battlefields seem to be in the backyards of children, I believe this statement perpetuates the notion that there are acceptable civilian casualities, including the lives and well-being of our world's children. This is not acceptable and should never be acceptable.
I urge you to please sign this petition, pass it on to your friends within your networks and work toward making this world landmine free.
