With the aim of speeding up the ATT ratification process in Burundi, Action on Armed Violence in Burundi (AOAV Burundi) and the Training Centre for Development of Ex-Combatants (CEDAC) launched a national advocacy campaign supporting the rapid ratification of the ATT by Burundi. A radio spot distributed to the main media outlets, launched this campaign and informed Burundians about the Treaty and urged them to support universalization efforts. Advocacy letters have also been sent to all key stakeholders, including parliamentarians, governmental officials and the military. A workshop involving the National Disarmament Commission which represents the Burundian government in disarmament affairs as well as some key members of the Parliament, governmental, police and military officials, and members of the civil society was organized by AOAV on November 12-13.
