Campaign Against Arms Trade
Description
Campaign Against Arms Trade is working for the reduction and ultimate abolition of the international arms trade, together with progressive demilitarisation within arms-producing countries.
Aims of the Campaign
Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) was set up in 1974 by a number of peace and other organisations who were concerned about the growth in the arms trade following the Middle East war of 1973. It is a broad coalition of groups and individuals in the UK working to end the international arms trade. This Trade has a negative effect on human rights and security as well as on global, regional and local economic development. In seeking to end it CAAT's priorities are to:
support measures, both in the UK and internationally, which will regulate and reduce the arms trade and lead to its eventual end.
