🕊️ 🎄PEACEFUL SEASON’S GREETINGS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎄 🕊️

The year 2022 is coming to an end, and the Parliamentary Forum on Small Arms and Light Weapons (the Forum) would like to thank you for a year of commitment and joint efforts to prevent and reduce Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW)-related violence in a changing world affected by armed conflict, global decline in democracy and continued effects from the COVID-19 pandemic.

2022 has been a special year for the Forum as it marks the 20th Anniversary of the organisation. The anniversary has been a vital opportunity to draw attention to the continued importance of reducing the illicit flows of SALW for sustainable development and peace, and also to celebrate the significant achievements that the Forum and its Members have accomplished throughout two decades. Welcome to read more about the work of the Forum and the Forum’s key achievements during 2002-2022 in the 20th Anniversary Publication here.

At the Forum we look forward to the upcoming year and the continued work together with our Members, Friends and partners for a more peaceful world.

Best wishes for a Peaceful season and a Happy New Year!
