Based on MP recommendations from @ParlForumSalw’s global activities, SG @KarinOlof highlighted in a statement at #CSP10 the need for further capacity-development to enhance #ATT implementation, underpinning the importance for international assistance to #ReduceHumanSuffering
At #CSP10@ParlForumSalw’s Secretary General @KarinOlof delivered a statement on the importance of MP involvement in international processes on #ATT. #ParliamentaryAction is key in enhancing universalisation and implementation of the #ATT and preventing #SALW-related violence.
Mr. Callum Watson, Gender Coordinator at @SmallArmsSurvey , recommended using disaggregated data for #ParliamentaryAction to draft, oversee, and evaluate policies. He also suggested complementing the #ATT’s supply focus by addressing the demand for illicit arms.
Board Member of @parlforum and Director of @appargentina1, Ms. @piadevoto, emphasised the importance of #CSP10. Given the state of the world, the 10th anniversary of the #ATT reminds us of the significance of honouring the Treaty’s primary objective: to #ReduceHumanSuffering.
