In October 2014 the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo co-organized a regional seminar on the implementation of the ATT in Central Africa. It included Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) countries, signatories and states parties of the Kinshasa Convention, the United Nations Regional Office for Central Africa (UNOCA) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Government officials from six countries shared their experiences in the struggle against weapons proliferation, and learnt more about ratifying and implementing weapons-related treaties.
