Through a series of conversations, SCRAP Weapons aims to provide an insight into the arms industry, its preoccupations and own understanding of its role in the world. Global rules exist to ensure human safety, led in part by the entry into force of the Arms Trade Treaty in 2014. Yet the question remains: in what ways are these being upheld by stakeholders within the industry?

The project will explore the themes and issues relating to a complex industry by seeking to understand what key challenges actors are facing to meet expectations of ethical conduct, creating space for conversations that lead towards a safer and more peaceful world.
