Experts' meeting ends its sessions

Abstract

The committee on Resolutions and Recommendations closed its session by the adoption of a draft resolution concerning the implementation of the Platform of Action. During the session of this committee, the representative of Ghana pointed out the necessity for a total ban on weapons sales to African countries in order to ensure peace, a critical prerequisite for the implementation of the platform of action. That statement backed and reformulated by the Tanzanian delegate urges the international community to stop selling weapons to Africans in order to avoid proliferation of conflicts".
