The Berlin Sessions will gather European NGOs for an exchange on the concepts, the challenges, and the practice of humanitarian disarmament. In the last two decades, civil society organizations, working with governments and international organizations, have achieved remarkable progress in this field. The humanitarian justification led to the successful adoption of the Mine Ban Treaty, the Convention on Cluster Munitions and most recently, the Arms Trade Treaty. The cooperation between humanitarian practitioners and disarmament advocates saves lives.
