Division 2.2.4 Location
United Kingdom
The regional conferences are designed to support governments and organisations from specific regions in preparing for RevCon3. Some regional organisations are already organising a preparatory meeting for RevCon3: League of Arab States, OSCE and Pacific Islands Forum. The Union project does not need to cover those regions. Therefore, the following five regional meetings are suggested:
| Countries from sub-regions | Regional organisations | Regional centre | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|
| West Africa and Central Africa | ECOWAS, ECCAS, AU | UNREC | Lome |
| East Africa and Southern Africa | RECSA, SADC, AU | UNREC | Lome |
| Caribbean | CARICOM | UNLIREC | Port of Spain |
| Latin America | OAS, UNASUR | UNLIREC | Lima |
| ASEAN and South Asian States | ASEAN | UNRCPD | Bangkok |
This Decision will support the participation/involvement of the Small Arms Survey and UNODA in the regional conferences mentioned below with a view to presenting the findings of the thematic symposia where they correspond to the interests of the organising entities. Such participation/involvement will be contingent on the timing of the organisation of those conferences.
| Countries from sub-regions | Regional organisations |
|---|---|
| Europe and North-America | OSCE |
| Middle-East | League of Arab States |
| Pacific | PIF |
