BELLEVUE, WA – -(Ammoland.com)-  IAPCAR directors Julianne Versnel and Alan Gottlieb will speak at an upcoming conference in Moscow on October 31 – November 1 2013.

The conference will focus on civilian arms and self-defense. The following features the full conference agenda: https://iapcar.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/conference-program-version-01.pdf

Interpol
In major news this week Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble recently commented in support of civilian arms rights for security purposes. Via ABC News: ”Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said today the U.S. and the rest of the democratic world is at a security crossroads in the wake of last month’s deadly al-Shabab attack at a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya – and suggested an answer could be in arming civilians.” More available here: https://iapcar.org/?p=1374

UN Disarmament Affairs
A “side event” was held at the UN today hosted by Ambassador Maria Cristina Perceval of Argentina on “Voluntary Surrender of Firearms.” More available here: https://www.examiner.com/article/thursday-at-u-n-panel-on-voluntary-surrender-of-firearms

UN ATT
Many countries have ‘signed’ the UN Arms Trade Treaty; however, few have actually gone through with the business of actual full ratification of the ATT. List: https://disarmament.un.org/treaties/t/att/signature/asc

As previously stated, IAPCAR recommends against signing or ratifying the ATT, as it currently lacks a provision protecting civilian use of firearms for the purpose of self-defense. Furthermore, the bar has been set low for amendments to the ATT—another problem for those concerned with civilian arms rights.

Yours in Freedom,
