I am proud to see all the great strides you have made since the First Committee begun. I am especially elated to see the Liberian President nearly wearing a Control arms T shirt! I am even happier to see my Ambassdor right there at the discussion table, meaning we must have done something good once upon a time. I still believe in this campaign and i know the objectives shall be realised, in the fullness of time! Take care all and enjoy the campaign! Love Sana! Roselyn Mungai in Nairobi Dear Friends,

I think the real difficulties to be faced to get this treaty to work is to do with the very rich people who profit from such an immoral trade. I don't think new laws will be enough - implementing them will be a key factor. People who benefit from the arms trade will only stop when they see that their profits put them in serious risk of gaol sentences and/or enormous fines - the risks and costs will have to far outweigh the benefits before they consider stopping - after all we all know these people have no morals or cares for the results of their actions. I think it must be a kind of mental health problem to have that little empathy for other human beings (not that that excuses such behaviour).
