Global Coalition for Limitation of Armaments

The Global Coalition for Limitation of Armaments (GCLA)is a group of Arab and international organizations with shared aims to promote the principles and rules of disarmament and non-proliferation and call on the warring parties and their international supporters to put an end to the conflicts that threaten the lives of civilians. This is done through the use of best practices, international standards and atypical solutions to fight the proliferation of weapons, especially in the Middle East and North Africa, which is witnessing many conflicts. Given the great risk of misusing these weapons to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, the efforts and visions of the founders of this Coalition have met on a common agenda based on the fact that awareness of disarmament has become a pressing necessity, in order to reduce the illicit arms trade or the misuse of weapons, to inculcate a culture of peace and security, and to promote pluralism and dialogue.
