As 2024 begins, the Quaker United Nations Office (QUNO) Geneva’s Peace and Disarmament program has focused on its work on corporate responsibility in the arms trade, emphasizing people at the center of arms control discourses and ensuring that states and businesses uphold their roles and responsibilities.
QUNO is involved in preparatory processes ahead of the 10th Conference of States Parties (CSP) of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) in August. Peace and Disarmament Representative Florence Foster was invited to a roundtable discussion in Bucharest for governments and civil society stakeholders to explore the role of interagency cooperation in effective ATT implementation, the thematic focus of this year’s meeting.
