Mnoho občanů Commonwealthu žije ve strachu a jejich lidská práva jsou porušována státními bezpečnostními složkami, teroristy a ozbrojenými zločinci. Lidská práva jsou ohrožena celosvětovou proliferace lehkých zbraní. Iniciativa Commonwealthu za lidská práva se v této zprávě ptá, zda Velká Británie dělá všechno, co je v jejich silách, aby zamezila obchodu zbraněmi do rozvíjejících se zemí. Kdo poskytuje zbraně odštěpěným frakcím, armádám rebelů a nedemokratickým režimům, je nakonec sám zodpovědný za násilí.

Many of the Commonwealth’s citizens live in fear and suffer human rights abuses at the hands of unaccountable state security forces, terrorist militants and armed criminals. Human rights exist in the shadow of a worldwide crisis of light weapons proliferation. Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative asks in this report whether the United Kingdom is doing enough to control the flow of weapons in the developing world. Who provides the weapons to arm the factions, splinter groups, rebel armies and undemocratic regimes ultimately responsible for violence?
