IAPCAR has recently mounted a strong campaign in opposition to the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.^[7] 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. 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]}
