Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict

July 19-21, 2005

This historic conference was the first held at the UN to facilitate a growing interaction between civil society organizations or CSOs.

The conference brought together CSOs from across the globe who are working for freedom, gender equality, prevention of armed conflict which includes small arms and light weapons, those interested in developing early warning signals for the prevention of conflict altogether.

This conference was sponsored by member states who made it possible for the conference to be held in the UN conference rooms and the General Assembly Hall--a benefit because of the turnout of CSOs. The number of CSOs in the world is so great as to necessitate a conference room with seats equivalent to those needed when all nations gather together in the General Assembly Hall which is a testament to all the organizations out there working for peace.

*Hard Copies of this CSO Information are available at the NGO Committee on Disarmament, Peace and Security's New York Office at 777 United Nations Plaza Suite 3B.
