G20 Advocacy Campaign

Declaration to the G20, London Summit April 2, 2009: The Declaration is a key Network document and was conceived by parliamentarians from across the globe. It plays a valuable role in bringing parliamentarians in each of these countries together to work towards the same goal – the prevention of violent conflict.

The Declaration is being distributed worldwide amongst the member countries of the G20 calling on them to properly resource conflict prevention efforts, to increase transparency in the use of these resources, and to help facilitate coordinated international responses to potential conflicts.

The Declaration is also being shared with a broad audience of key stakeholders including government, regional organizations, other parliamentary networks, the United Nations, and representatives of civil society.

Take action, write to your MP or locally elected representative and urge them to join the Network and sign the Declaration.
