In partnership with the Commission Nationale de Contrôle des Armes Légères et de Petit Calibre et de Réduction de la Violence Armée (CNC-ALPC), Action on Armed Violence (AOAV) organized an advocacy workshop in Kinshasa, DRC. The workshop brought together parliamentarians, government ministers and representatives, members of civil society and the media to discuss the objectives of the ATT as well as its practical implementation. Topics covered included the reasons behind the adoption of the ATT and current state of weapons proliferation; the obligations of State Parties; the current status of ATT implementation at the international level; other relevant national and international legislation such as the Kinshasa Convention; accession and ratification processes; practical issues of implementation; reporting obligations and practices; and funding opportunities for implementation.
