At least 1,500 people die every day because of armed violence — but there is more regulation over the trade of bananas and bottled water than weapons and ammunition.
It’s time the international community prioritized the protection of people. Join other human rights supporters and sign a global petition that urges United Nations members to approve an effective Arms Trade Treaty.
A strong global Arms Trade Treaty would stop the supply of weapons to countries where they are likely to be used to commit atrocities like genocide, rape, or the forcible recruitment of child soldiers in conflicts throughout the world.
Our message is simple – if there is a substantial risk that arms exported to another country will contribute to serious human rights abuses, those arms supplies must be stopped.
No more arms for atrocities or abuses!

Please help us collect a massive number of signatures for this global petition. Add your voice now.Sincerely,
Alex Neve,
Secretary-General
