International Action Network on Small Arms - IANSA

The International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) is the global movement against gun violence - a network of 700 civil society organisations working in 100 countries to stop the proliferation and misuse of small arms and light weapons (SALW). IANSA seeks to make people safer from gun violence by securing stronger regulation on guns in society and better controls on arms exports. It represents the voices of civil society on the international stage, for example in the UN process on small arms, and draws on the practical experience of its members to campaign for policies that will protect human security.
