DESCRIPTION
On Wednesday, June 11, civil society had the opportunity to address the participants of the Arms Trade Treaty Diplomatic Conference at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. Several members of the Control Arms coalition, including representatives from Amnesty International, Oxfam, the International Action Network on Small Arms, and Women’s Right to Education Programme addressed government negotiators from around the world during the high level nongovernmental organization (NGO) segment. Each organizational representative brought a different perspective for delegates at the conference to consider. During the speeches the panel made it clear that human rights, development, and other provisions must be included in the ATT in order for it to achieve the Treaty’s humanitarian objectives. Their statement can be found here: www.un.org/disarmament/ATT/statements/
