Mongolia’s Amnesty International branch urges control of the arms trade | Ubpost News: "The Daily News interviewed the Executive Director of the Mongolian branch of Amnesty International (AI), B.Altantuya, recently to discuss issues relating to human rights, particularly the international arms trade.
-How effective are the worldwide measures and actions against the arms trade and violence against women?
-It is typical for abused women to be without proper medical treatment or financial support to allow them to overcome their hardships, while those who commit abuse are still on the loose, without being arrested or punished for their wrongdoings. The major measures proposed relate to monitoring peace treaties and agreements regarding confiscation of arms, and ending conflict through peaceful means, but these have often not involved women’s opinions and views. This is against United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security."
