Description:
This project aims to enhance the universalization and implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) by strengthening parliamentary action on legislation, oversight and awareness-raising. This is achieved through direct engagement with parliamentarians by the Parliamentary Forum on Small Arms and Light Weapons to support the shaping of national legislative policies related to national obligations under the ATT. This project also provides policy tools to contribute to parliamentarians’ individual capacity, parliaments’ capacity, and a space for parliamentarians to meet and join forces with other stakeholders. Project activities include: (1) conducting three regional seminars in Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East on universalization and implementation of the ATT; (2) conducting one international seminar on specific policy recommendations for action on the ATT; (3) delivering seminars and outreach activities on raising awareness and knowledge of gender equality perspectives and linkages between the ATT and the Women Peace and Security (WPS) agenda; and (4) conducting an international side event at the Conference of States Parties to the ATT on the role of parliaments and parliamentarians, particularly female parliamentarians, in advancing and advocating for the universalization and implementation of the ATT and its links to the WPS agenda.
