83 countries co-sponsor the resolution!

After a manic day of lobbying by our dedicated team and many dedicated governments, a massive 83 countries have agreed to 'co-sponser' a resolution, which, if the vote in 2 weeks time goes well, will be the next big step in achiving an an international Arms Trade Treaty!
