CAMPAIGN NEWS: THANK YOU - THE WORLD NOW HAS AN ARMS TRADE TREATY!
Together we have achieved a great milestone for human rights. Twenty years, millions of actions taken, thousands of hours spent lobbying governments, hundreds of MPs across the UK holding the government to account, six years of UN deliberations and it has all paid off. 153 governments have voted to put lives and human rights above profits and for the first time place effective international controls on the billion dollar arms trade by adopting the Arms Trade Treaty.
