  • Conventional weapons such as guns and landmines are responsible for far more casualties every year than so-called 'weapons of mass destruction'.
  • At the moment there are no controls on arms transfers, meaning weapons can be sold to people who are abusing human rights. An Arms Trade Treaty would aim to stop this.
  • Conflict can cause huge devastation to communities, and prevent them from being able to develop and prosper. People need security and peace for sustainable development.
  • It is possible to bring about change , as the anti-landmines campaign proved.
