“We cannot allow a few governments to hold humanity to ransom over something as important as the ATT. It is particularly appalling when these are governments that have demonstrated their willingness to use weapons against their own people.”

Estas conversaciones son una oportunidad histórica, una oportunidad demasiado importante como para que los gobiernos intenten politizarla.”

Les ventes d'armes provenant de Chine et de Russie alimentent de graves violations des droits humains au Darfour, a déclaré Amnesty International jeudi 9 février. Ces transferts montrent combien il est urgent de renforcer l'embargo existant des Nations unies sur les armes, actuellement sans portée réelle, et que les États adoptent un traité efficace sur le commerce des armes.
Les ventes au Soudan mettent en évidence la nécessité d'un traité efficace sur le commerce des armes.
- Sales to Sudan underline need for an effective Arms Trade Treaty
Arms sales from China and Russia are fuelling serious human rights violations in Darfur, Amnesty International said today. These arms transfers highlight the urgent need to strengthen the existing ineffectual UN arms embargo and for governments to agree an effective Arms Trade Treaty.
