Webinar: Canada's growing role in the arms trade
Canada’s past and present role in the international arms trade
In 2019, Canada joined the Arms Trade Treaty, the first binding international framework to control the trade and transfer of weapons systems.
That year, Canada also exported more weapons abroad than at any point in its history. Many of these arms were sold to repressive regimes and fueled some of the world’s most heinous conflicts.
Join our friends at Project Ploughshares for a virtual discussion on Canada’s past and present role in the international arms trade.
