我们认识到，小武器和轻武器及其弹药的非法贸易是一个祸害，其不可估量的破坏性影响超出国际安全领域，对社会经济发展和人权产生直接影响，同时加剧了数百万人遭受的性暴力和性别暴力。因此，国际社会迫切需要以协调一致方式解决这一问题。作为智利致力于这一领域的证明，我国于2018年5月交存了《武器贸易条约》批准文书，由此为有效监管常规武器跨国贸易作出贡献。
We recognize that the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons and their ammunition is a scourge with immeasurable destructive effects that go beyond the area of international security and have direct consequences for socioeconomic development and human rights, while exacerbating sexual and gender-based violence for millions of people. It is therefore urgent that the international community address the problem in a concerted manner. As a testament to Chile’s commitment in this area, in May 2018 our country deposited its instrument of ratification of the Arms Trade Treaty, thereby contributing to the effective regulation of the transnational trade in conventional weapons.
