The International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) is an international non-governmental organisation recognised by the United Nations.〔(DPI NGO Section )〕 IANSA is the global movement against gun violence, linking civil society organisations working to stop the proliferation and misuse of small arms and light weapons, and all ownership of firearms by anyone other than a government agency. IANSA supports efforts to make people safer by reducing demand for such weapons, improving firearms regulation and strengthening controls on arms transfers. The network has over 250 full members that undertake research, advocacy and campaigning to promote local, national, regional and global measures to strengthen human security.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.iansa.org/aboutus )〕 IANSA's Women's Network is the only international network focused on the connections between gender, women's rights, small arms and armed violence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.iansa-women.org )〕 ==United Nations Activities== IANSA was involved in lobbying the 2001 United Nations Conference on the Illicit Trade in Small Arms which produced an agreed programme of action.〔''UN Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons'', July 2001 accessed at () September 6, 2006〕 A UN Review Conference ended in July 2006 () without further agreement. A subsequent meeting in 2008, agreed a substantive outcome document by a majority vote .() IANSA, part of the Control Arms Campaign, promotes an international treaty regulating the conventional arms trade. A resolution to begin work on this Arms Trade Treaty was approved by the UN General Assembly in 2006. The US National Rifle Association says IANSA is using the treaty as the first step in a ban on private gun ownership in the United States, and also of making it easier for the world's dictatorships to oppress their own citizens. The Gun Owners of America lobbying organisation has been equally vocal in its criticism of IANSA. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IANSA (NGO)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
