br /
In its latest briefing paper on the country, Amnesty International details US shipments of arms, including mortars, ammunition and cash for the purchase of weapons to the Transitional Federal Government (TFG). br /
br /
These transfers were made despite substantial risks that such types of weapons could be used in indiscriminate attacks by TFG forces, or diverted to armed groups opposed to the TFG, who also commit gross and widespread abuses. br /
br /
ldquo;International concern for the future of the Somali government has not been matched by an equal concern for the human rights of civilians,rdquo; said Michelle Kagari, Amnesty International Deputy Director for Africa. br /
br /
ldquo;Mortar attacks continue to claim lives ndash; it is time for international donors to apply tighter controls to their support for the governmentrdquo; br /
br /
Amnesty Internationalrsquo;s briefing also details growing international programmes of military and police training for TFG forces, despite a lack of adequate oversight procedures. br /
br /
The training is delivered in Somalia itself and in Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti and Uganda. The European Union, France, Germany and Italy are involved, or have pledged funding for it. br /
br /
Amnesty International calls for all states providing, financing or planning military and police training for the TFG to provide training in international humanitarian law and on arms management. They should also press for the establishment of oversight procedures for TFG forces. br /
br /
A UN arms embargo on Somalia has been in place since 1992 but states can apply to the UN Sanctions Committee for exemptions to supply security assistance to the Somali government. br /
br /
Amnesty International is urging the committee to apply criteria for assessing the risk thatnbsp; exemptions to the arms embargo will contribute to war crimes and human rights abuses, and to deny authorisations on this basis. br /
br /
To be effectively implemented, Amnesty International argues that such criteria need to be enshrined in international law and universally applied to all arms transfers. The organisation calls on states to establish such common standards in an international Arms Trade Treaty. br /
br /
Somalia has been mired in armed conflict since the collapse of the Siad Barre government in 1991. Conflict intensified and unlawful killings of civilians increased after Ethiopian troops entered Somalia at the end of 2006 to help the TFG fight against several armed opposition groups from whom it has been seeking to regain territorial control. br /
br /
Despite a peace agreement between the TFG and one armed group, the appointment of a President issued from the former armed opposition and the withdrawal of Ethiopian troops from Somalia, armed opposition groups have continued attacks against the TFG. In May 2009, they launched a major offensive against the TFG, which currently only controls a small part of the capital Mogadishu. br /
br /
In 2009, indiscriminate attacks by all parties to the armed conflict have resulted in thousands of civilians killed and hundreds of thousands displaced. The number of people internally displaced within Somalia is now 1.5 million and some 3.7 million are dependent on humanitarian assistance for their survival.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today at the United Nations after years of discussions and debates, the vast majority of governments ndash; 153 in total - agreed a timetable to establish a quot;strong and robustquot; Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) with the quot;highest common standardsquot; to control international transfers of conventional arms. There is currently no global Treaty on the conventional arms trade. br /
br /
Most of the world's biggest arms traders ndash; including the USA, UK, France and Germany - will now all back the UN process. Nineteen states abstained but are all expected to take part in the process. Zimbabwe was the only State to vote against. br /
br /
During the debates on the resolution, many countries spoke out and underlined the need for the treaty to be based on international law, including international human rights and humanitarian law. br /
br /
The Control Arms campaign ndash; a coalition of hundreds of non-governmental organizations in over 100 countries that has promoted the ATT - welcomed the historic breakthrough at the UN today and called on all States to negotiate a truly effective Treaty. They warned that governments must keep up the momentum to ensure the final Treaty has firm international standards for the global arms trade. Campaigners expressed reservations about the procedure planned for the UN Conference that could give every State the right of veto over final decisions at the UN Conference. They warned a small number of sceptical States must not be allowed to hijack the ATT process when it is clear the world wants a strong treaty. br /
br /
ldquo;All countries participate in the conventional arms trade and share responsibility for the lsquo;collateral damagersquo; it produces ndash; widespread death, injuries and human rights abuses,rdquo; said Rebecca Peters, director of the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA). ldquo;Now finally governments have agreed to negotiate legally binding global controls on this deadly trade.rdquo; br /
br /
The agreement in the UN today means that the eventual ATT will be negotiated in a series of UN meetings concluding at a UN Conference in 2012. br /
br /
ldquo;The Arms Trade Treaty needs a lsquo;golden rulersquo; requiring governments to stop any proposed arms transfer that poses a substantial risk of being used for serious violations of human rights or war crimes,quot; said Brian Wood, Amnesty International's head of arms control, ldquo;such a golden rule could save hundreds of thousands of lives and protect the livelihoods of many millions.quot; br /
br /
The resolution on the ATT also highlights the issue of international arms transfers contributing to armed conflict, displacement of people, organised crime and terrorism, thereby undermining peace, safety, security and sustainable development. br /
br /
quot;For too long, governments have let the flow of weapons get out of control causing pain, suffering and death in some of the world's poorest regions. With hundreds of thousands of people dying a year from armed violence, weapons that fall into the hands of criminals and rights abusers destroy communities and livelihoods.quot; said Anna Macdonald of Oxfam International. quot;Governments must ensure that negotiations live up to the promise of setting the highest possible standards - this is a life and death situation for thousands of poor people worldwide.quot; br /
br /
* The States that abstained were: Bahrain, Belarus, China, Cuba, Egypt, India, Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, UAE, Venezuela and Yemen. br /

		<description><![CDATA[img src=http://www.amnesty.org/sites/impact.amnesty.org/files/imagecache/previewsize/sites/impact.amnesty.org/files/PUBLIC/General/controlarms-gallery-100x100.jpg alt= title=  /br/p
Campaigners from Amnesty International and other Control Arms Campaign partners are in New York this month, attending the First Committee of the UN General Assembly, campaigning for the start of negotiations for an effective International Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). br /
br /
A photo exhibition compiled and staged by the Control Arms Campaign, is mounted just outside the conference chamber where government delegates are debating the ATT document.br /
br /
The exhibition shows visually the six legal components that the Control Arms Campaign is urging states to incorporate into an effective Arms Trade Treaty.br /
br /
Sixteen of the images featured in the exhibition can be seen in the gallery in this story.br /
br /
Every day, thousands of people are killed, injured, raped, and forced to flee from their homes as a result of irresponsible and poorly regulated international arms transfers.br /
br /
These problems are compounded by the increasing globalization of the arms trade ndash;components being sourced from across the world, and production and assembly in different countries, sometimes with lax controls.br /
br /
National and regional state regulation of the arms trade has failed to adapt to these changes. nbsp;br /
br /
Some of the pictures aim to show the ease with which weapons are transferred around the world, and therefore why there is a need for a comprehensive ATT.br /
br /
Others show the impact that an effective ATT could have on people's lives: helping to prevent serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, and protecting populations against pervasive armed violence, armed crime and acts of terrorism which shatter lives, deepen poverty and prevent socio-economic development.br /
br /
To achieve this goal, an ATT must establish binding criteria for assessing international arms transfers on a case-by-case basis, and clearly determine when an international arms transfer should be stopped.br /
br /
The Global Principles illustrated here are based on existing international law. They lay out international civil society's vision of the underlying principles of an effective, global Arms Trade Treaty.
