From 13-17 February, States will gather in New York for the last Preparatory Committee meeting (PrepCom) before the 2-27 July Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). While
primarily focused on procedural matters, the gathering offers an important opportunity for States
and broader civil society to re-affirm and take additional steps toward achieving an ATT that
brings real humanitarian benefits and protects lives and livelihoods around the globe.

Our new briefing paper highlights key goals for the meeting and we encourage our members and civil
society allies to make sure that their governments hear the message, through direct lobbying and
through Speaking Out to Control Arms now.
