Control Arms
Every year, millions of people suffer as a result of the unregulated global arms trade.
There are at least 640 million firearms in existence in the world today. That’s one for every ten people on the planet.
Amnesty International has joined with Oxfam and the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) to set up the Control Arms campaign.
The campaign calls for an international, legally binding Arms Trade Treaty that could save thousands of lives and hold irresponsible arms dealers to account.
The Control Arms campaign has published many reports and has organised more than 100 People’s Consultations in more than 40 countries around the world to give people and communities a forum to demand that their governments take action for tough international arms controls.
Since it started in October 2003, Control Arms has gathered the support of more than one million people worldwide.
An historic vote at the UN General Assembly in December 2006, saw 153 governments vote for a resolution to start the process for a global Arms Trade Treaty, in 2007.
