United Nations Levy On Arms Sales

EDM number 1313 in 1993-94, proposed by Tony Benn on 14/06/1994.

That this House is concerned for the future of the United Nations, especially its inability to finance all the many tasks imposed on it in regions of conflict; is also concerned to support the many other essential reforms proposed by the United Nations Secretary-General, Mr Boutros Boutros-Ghali in his book An Agenda for Peace; therefore commends the Secretary-General's proposal for an international levy on arms sales related to an Arms Register by the United Nations; and suggests the money raised by the levy be used by the United Nations to support the Secretary-General's reforms and the idea of regional peace and development programmes to remove the causes of conflict and war, promote the institutions of peace and make conciliation and reconciliation possible in regions of conflict; and calls upon the Government to support such a Resolution in the Security Council at the earliest possible opportunity.

This motion has been signed by a total of 60 MPs.
