Training of Trainers Workshop by the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) Secretariat in Geneva

The Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) Secretariat in Geneva conducted a "Train the Trainers" workshop in Bangkok, Thailand from the 8th to the 12th of July, 2024.

The workshop was attended by states, signatory states, non-state parties and civil society representing China, Japan, Maldives, Philippines, Thailand, Mongolia, Cambodia, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

At the workshop, the Thai Government noted that they are currently working towards ratifying the ATT. We would also like to commend the Government of Maldives' productive engagement with the ATT at the workshop.

Our engagement with the Maldivian Government has paved the way for Maldives accede to the not only the ATT but the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) and Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) as well.

We wish the parties that took part in the workshop all the best with their treaty implementation efforts and encourage them to continue supporting the universalization of treaties.
