- Summary
- Gun violence afflicts countries around the world – armed conflict and violent crime claim the lives of men, women and children every day. AI is part of a worldwide coalition campaigning for a global Arms Trade Treaty in order to prevent the proliferation and misuse of arms and so reduce the number of victims. In 2006, activists achieved a major victory when the UN voted overwhelmingly to start work on a treaty – a goal many thought unrealistic when the campaign started.
