PeaceBuilding from the Ground Up - preventing and reducing armed violence, Comunidad Segura Good Practices Magazine, Year II, Number 4.

Presented by QUNO New York Director Andrew Tomlinson at the EU-ISS seminar entitled “Peacebuilding and the Security-Development Nexus,” with a particular focus on the United Nations Peacebuilding Architecture including the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC).

This Briefing presents QUNO's work relating to demand for small arms, and how this led to the creation of the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development. The Declaration’s unique approach will be of interest to Quaker service organizations and other partners working in fields such as arms control, public health, development and poverty eradication. This report aims to consolidate understanding of the links between armed violence and development across these various communities.
