Control Arms Campaign

President Trump’s decision to un-sign the Arms Trade Treaty is a clear message to civilians caught in the crossfire: we don’t care.

Baffour Amoa, spokesperson for the Control Arms Coalition said:

New York : Campaigners today called on governments meeting at the United Nations to ensure no weapons or munitions are sold to human rights abusers. The call came as delegates meet this week to resume negotiations on a global, legally-binding Arms Trade Treaty.

In a new report released today, Oxfam exposes the weaknesses in New Zealand company law that enabled unscrupulous international arms brokers to drag the country into the deadly business of the illegal arms trade, highlighting the urgent need for a global Arms Trade Treaty.
