Campaign Against Arms Trade
The Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) is a UK-based organization that opposes the arms trade and advocates for disarmament. Founded in 1997, CAAT aims to raise awareness about the negative impacts of arms sales on global peace and human rights. The organization conducts research, organizes protests, and engages in lobbying efforts to influence government policies regarding arms exports.
CAAT focuses on the ethical implications of arms trading, particularly in relation to conflicts and human rights abuses. The group highlights the connections between the arms trade and issues such as poverty, violence, and environmental degradation, urging governments to prioritize peace and security over profit.
