This report was officially launched on 12 November 2009 at the International Peace Institute in New York in connection with the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development, and the 16 November 2009 tabling at the UN General Assembly of the UN Secretary-General’s 5 August 2009 report: "Promoting Development through the Reduction and Prevention of Armed Violence."
