26 jun Connecting the Dots Side Event at the RevCon3
Global Parliamentary Action Plan
The Parliamentary Forum on Small Arms and Light Weapons, in cooperation with the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs and International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, successfully held a side-event, as part of its “Connecting the Dots” Project. The project is funded by the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA) UN Trust Facility Supporting Cooperation on Arms Regulation (UNSCAR).
A Global Parliamentary Action Plan was presented at the side event, with the participation of international experts and MPs from Guatemala, DRC and Myanmar. The plan outlines and condenses the main priorities and actions needed to reinforce parliamentary ownership, participation and understanding of the ATT, the UNPOA, within the framework of SDG 16. It should serve as a tool for parliamentary action in the field of armed violence reduction and prevention and take into account other relevant instruments.
The Global Parliamentary Action Plan is available here.
