2 Days until #CSP10! This year, we’re emphasizing the critical need for universalization of the Arms Trade Treaty (#ATT). Expanding the treaty’s reach through collective global action is vital to preventing illegal arms transfers and the resulting human suffering.

Today marks the start of #CSP10! We began with opening speeches, including one from our own Fadi Abi Allam of Permanent Peace Movement. His speech, delivered via video due to imminent war risks in Lebanon, is a compelling reminder of the real-world consequences of the arms trade.

'During this time, we kept our faith in the Treaty’s object and purpose. The question I have to ask you today is: have States Parties done the same?' The time for action is now. #ArmsControl #ATT

ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric: "The Arms Trade Treaty is vital to preventing humanitarian law violations. States Parties must take an honest look at their actions and renew their commitment to its humanitarian purpose. Arms transfer decisions must prioritize human concerns."

We’ve reached the launch of the ATT Monitor at #CSP10, refer as 'cornerstone in the CSP process' by this year’s President, the Romanian delegation. The Monitor serves as a crucial tool for scrutinizing the ATT, and we are immensely proud of its role. #ControlArms #ATTMonitor
