Orgoglioso di far parte, ufficialmente da oggi, del gruppo di esperti di questioni legate alla produzione e commercio di armi riuniti nell’ambito del “Forum on the Arms Trade”.
Si tratta di una rete internazionale di esperti della società civile e un punto di contatto per rafforzare gli sforzi pubblici al fine di affrontare le implicazioni umanitarie, economiche e di altro tipo dei trasferimenti di armi, dell’assistenza alla sicurezza e dell’uso delle armi.
Onorato dell’invito ad essere il primo esperto italiano del gruppo giunto dal coordinatore del Forum Jeff Ambramson. Qui sotto la mia “scheda” sul sito del Forum…
