Descripción de la actividad

The 43rd Ministerial Meeting of the United Nations Standing Advisory Committee on Security Questions in Central Africa (UNSAC) took place from 28 November to 2 December 2016. The meeting reviewed the security situation in Central Africa and represented an occasion to participants about the interconnections between terrorist and criminal groups and illicit arms flows in the region. This was considered one additional reason to strengthen regional commitments to ratify the Kinshasa Convention and the Arms Trade Treaty.
