Chair's Summary
Antigua, Guatemala, 30 April 2014. The Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development Regional Review Conference brought together representatives from 22 countries in Antigua, Guatemala, from 28 to 30 April. The Conference gave rise to a series of debates on the commitment of the States that adhered to the Geneva Declaration on the reduction of the global burden of armed violence, both in conflict situations and in contexts of insecurity.
The two paramount objectives were to analyse the successes achieved in reduction of violence, and to foster the exchange of information and lessons learned between the participating States, specialists, academics, and representatives of civil society.
The Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development acknowledges that armed violence constitutes not only a cause but also a consequence of the problems of development, and that in different situations it obstructs to a large extent the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (Outcome Document, 2nd Ministerial Review Conference on the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development, 2011).
The States adhering to the Geneva Declaration recognise that it is necessary to contend with the structural roots of violence and insecurity. Moreover, it is imperative to fight against inequality, youth unemployment and the lack of opportunities, with a view to promoting a sustainable development and, consequently, achieving a greater level of co-existence, without forgetting the local and cultural particularities of each territory and population.
