Unveiling the Impact of Arms Control: Real-world Insights (episode 2: Multilateral Agreements and Gun Violence)

Multilateral arms control agreements face a credibility crisis, marked by declining transparency and inconsistent enforcement. Many States Parties now opt for private reports under the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), reducing public accountability. Non-compliance often goes unaddressed. However, the true measure of these agreements should be their impact on communities affected by firearm violence and the trust they foster.

Campaigners striving to prevent gun violence have limited participation opportunities in multilateral forums, where top-down approaches prevail. This podcast aims to amplify the voices of these campaigners, offering their perspectives on the impact of arms control agreements.
