.@ICRC noted that states who supply arms assume a special responsibility, and are in a unique position to influence the behavior of recipients. They are in a position to reduce negative consequences and prevent violations. #ArmsTreaty #CSP8

On #ArmsTreaty universalization, Raluca Muresan, on behalf of Control Arms, suggested the prioritization of info exchange. States can listen & learn directly from their peers about their specific experiences w/ risk assessment, transit & transshipment & diversion. #CSP8 ⬇️

Control Arms welcomed the effort made by the sub-working groups on Articles 9 and 11 to develop resources that can practically assist states to implement the #ArmsTreaty. #CSP8 ⬇️

With the unprecedented volume of weapons are being transferred to #Ukraine, efforts by states to explore steps to monitor & mitigate diversion risks could help determine the effectiveness of these strategies, and may serve to strengthen the overall guidance develop under Art. 11.

Allocution inspirante de la représentante jeunesse de @IANSAnetwork qui rappelle aux délégués de #BMS8 l’importance d’inclure les groupes sous-représentés dans toutes les discussions sur la paix, le désarmement et le contrôle des armes.
