武器貿易がもたらす真の害とは何か
世界には、グラス一杯のきれいな水よりも、自動小銃を手に入れるほうが簡単な地域があります。現実とはそういうものだ、というだけなのでしょうか? 国際人道組織War Childを立ち上げた医師、サマンサ・ナットが世界の武器取引について解説し、暴力の連鎖を断ち切るための、常識的だけど思い切った解決法を提案します。「戦争は人間が起こすものです。売るのも、買うのも、広げるのも、戦うのも、私たち人間です。ですから、私たち自身に解決する力がないはずがないのです」
This talk was presented at an official TED conference. TED's editors chose to feature it for you.
Join War Child and learn more about what you can do to give children in war-affected communities the chance to break the cycle of poverty and violence.

Disarming Conflict
Looking back at the failed wars of the past quarter century, Disarming Conflict provides an alternative roadmap towards achieving peace. Regehr’s premise is simple: the force of war is not enough to overcome the complex social, political and economic contexts that lead to conflict. Instead, we must address the underlying security policies that lead to unrest.
