Omega Research Foundation Ltd

General information

Omega is a UK-based NGO researching the impact on human rights of international transfers of Military, Security and Police (MSP) technologies, ranging from small arms and light weapons to large weapons systems, policing technologies, equipment used for torture, and the security infrastructure of repressive states. Omega’s work exposes how inadequate controls on the MSP trade help facilitate human rights violations; fuel conflict and regional instability; and undermine security and sustainable development. We advocate for tougher controls on this trade and their effective implementation by Governments worldwide and develop policy guidance for appropriate use of equipment.
