Blood at the Crossroads (New Report)
The world is reaching a crossroads
in deciding how to control the arms trade.
Governments must act now to create
effective and robust regulation.
This report shows through illustrative cases how that trade contributes to serious violations of human rights in different parts of the world. In particular, it seeks to help demonstrate why the establishment of a global Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) is an urgent necessity and how an ATT could work to save lives, preserve livelihoods and enhance respect for human rights.
