Let’s unmute & open the doors to civil society organizations!
Solving the worlds problems requires all of us.
No exceptions.
No distinctions.
All of us.
On behalf of Control Arms, @CindyEbbs delivered a strong call for #ArmsTreaty States Parties to effectively implement Articles 6 & 7 and refine national processes to achieve the ATT's object and purpose: to reduce human suffering. (1/3)
Happening now: #ArmsTreaty#CSP8 Working Group Meetings. Agenda item 1 is the general debate on Article 6 & 7, particularly the Elements of a voluntary guide to implementing Articles 6 & 7 of the ATT.
It's time for @POTUS to "put human rights at the center of U.S. foreign policy" and end the cycle of abuse and extremism in Egypt. We can no longer write blank checks to oppressive dictatorships.
➡️✋Happening today: Civil Society deliver statements at #UNGA#FirstCommittee. As mentioned in statements from member states this week, partnership with civil society is critical in ensuring the full implementation of international arms regimes. #ReadyToEngage
The Protection of Civilians’ agenda does not just apply during conflict: it applies any time that States prioritize militarization over the health and human security of their own citizens as well as protection support for citizens in other vulnerable contexts. #humansecurity

👉Support Relationships in Armed Conflict: Reducing the Humanitarian Risks of Arms Supply
Con la participación de @CindyEbbs de @controlarms#ReadyToEngage
Happy to say that my latest legal analysis is out in collaboration with @Saferworld & @controlarms! We looked at the #ArmsTradeTreaty's provisions on terrorism and transnational organized crime, to help states implement the treaty fully. Check it out here: https://t.co/TiXYoPlgDp
Opening the side event on #Myanmar, @controlarms Co-Director @CindyEbbs references the positive steps by some to halt arms supplies to the military, but notes there remains a dangerous gap, where a comprehensive #UNSC embargo should be in place.
It's been a busy week at the #ArmsTreaty Working Group and #CSP7 Preparatory Meetings.
