PGA-APP Sensitization of the Argentinean Chamber of Deputies
The purpose of this meeting was to generate awareness on armed violence and irresponsible arms transfers among Argentinean parliamentarians and parliamentarians advisers. The work breakfast took place on the fringe of the Week of Action against Armed Violence organized by the Parliamentarians for Global Action (PGA) in collaboration with the Argentinean civil society organization, Association for Public Policy (APP).
Parliamentarians for Global Action (PGA) Peace and Democracy Programme focuses in marshalling global parliamentary support for improved regulation of the international arms trade, in particular where its inadequacies play a demonstrated role in destabilizing countries, causing or fuelling conflict and/or delay the emergence of countries from conflict. The PGA Global Parliamentary Campaign for Universality and Implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty is actively promoting signature and/or ratification of the ATT within their Parliaments and in close contact with their respective Governments.
