Global Week of Action: Unified action to end violence caused by small arms and
light weapons
|
|
| "Most conflicts today are fought with small arms
and light weapons. They are the weapons of choice in civil wars and for
terrorism, organized crime, and gang warfare. They also facilitate human rights
violations, including killing and maiming, rape, enforced disappearance,
torture, and forced recruitment of children by armed groups." With these words,
the High Representative of the United Nations for Disarmament, Sergio Duarte,
congratulated the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) for
undertaking the Global Week of Action Against Gun Violence. IANSA and its
members from civil society have organized events and activities drawing
attention to the dangers of small arms and light weapons in more than 80
countries.
