Guns or Growth? Assessing the impact of arms sales on sustainable development


Intermón Oxfam, Amnesty International and IANSA

Abstract

Arms kill more than half a million men, women, and children on average each year. Many thousands more are maimed, or tortured, or forced to flee their homes. The uncontrolled proliferation of arms fuels human rights violations, escalates conflicts, and intensifies poverty. The time for world leaders to act is now. To confront this crisis, Oxfam, Amnesty International, and the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) have together launched an international campaign calling for effective arms controls to make people genuinely safer from the threat of armed violence.
You can help us to put an end to this horrific abuse. Log on to the control arms website and become part of the largest, most effective visual petition in the world.
