Member organizations

[edit]

The International Association for the Protection of Civilian Arms Rights has 29 groups from 21 countries on 6 continents representing tens of millions of firearm owners.

Recent campaigns

[edit]

IAPCAR has recently[when?] mounted a strong campaign in opposition to the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.[7][failed verification] One of the co-founders of IAPCAR, Julianne Vernsel, submitted testimony to the Arms Trade Treaty conference objecting to the exclusion of civilian's arms rights from the treaty.[citation needed] They also strongly objected to the lack of acknowledgement or protection of civilian arms rights or recognizing the right to self-defense in its enforceable language.[8][9]
