As part of the project to 'Support to the ratification and future implementation of the ATT - Improving understanding of the Treaty', the UN Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament in Africa (UNREC), in collaboration with Office Of The High Commissioner For Human Rights (OHCHR) and the African Union (AU), organised a workshop on the implementation of ATT obligations relating to human rights and gender-based violence. The workshop constituted a unique platform for governmental representatives, UN and AU offices and agencies, sub-regional intergovernmental organisations, and civil society organisation to engage in discussions on the role of different stakeholders in contributing to an effective implementation of the treaty, on existing legislative frameworks and implementation measures, challenges inherent in the implementation, as well as the way forward.
