The United States Should Withdraw from the U.N.'s Programme of Action on Small Arms

The United States Should Withdraw from the U.N.’s Programme of Action on Small Arms Ted R. Bromund, PhDThe 2018 meeting of the U.N. Programme of Action (PoA) on the illicit trade in small arms broke both a U.S. red line and the PoA’s principle of unanimity. As its achievements are limited at best the only reason for the U.S. to participate in the PoA was to prevent it from making bad decisions and binding U.S. policy. Now that the PoA has abandoned unanimity, the U.S. should withdraw from, and discontinue any aid through, the PoA.
