About the Control Arms Campaign

Thousands of people are killed, injured, raped, and forced to flee from their homes as a result of the unregulated global arms trade. The Control Arms campaign is calling for an international, legally-binding Arms Trade Treaty to ease the suffering caused by irresponsible weapons transfers.

Since its beginning in October 2003, Control Arms has gathered the support of over one million people worldwide. In December 2006, 153 governments voted at the United Nations to start work on developing an international Arms Trade Treaty.

Now we need your support to make sure it’s effective.  Find out how you can join us and support the campaign.

This campaign is supported by Amnesty International, IANSA and Oxfam International.
