B02 Arms Transfers and Gender-based Violence: Human rights beyond borders
Room:
Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF)
The panel aims at presenting a gendered perspective on the irresponsible arms trade by providing examples of how violations of Article 7(4) of the ATT negatively affect human rights. It also seeks to present the findings of a recent report published by Reaching Critical Will, which provides tools and guidelines for effective implementation of the ATT and UNPoA , as well as to link the action of arms transfers and the effects of this on GBV.
