📍 Only one day to go until the CSP12 Informal Preparatory Meeting

The Twelfth Conference of States Parties (CSP12) Informal Preparatory Meeting will take place on 27–28 May 2026 in Geneva, with discussions beginning tomorrow.

This important step in the CSP12 preparatory process will bring together States, international and regional organizations, and civil society for focused informal exchanges in advance of the Conference of States Parties.

The meeting will provide an opportunity to:

• Take stock of progress in the implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty
• Exchange views on key priorities for CSP12
• Strengthen coordination ahead of the Conference

These preparatory discussions remain essential to ensuring an effective, transparent, and inclusive implementation of the Treaty.
