National Consultation of the Presidential Commission for the Control of Weapons, Ammunition and Disarmament
The Presidential Commission for the Control of Arms, Ammunition and Disarmament was created by decree by the Government of Venezuela to promote the design, construction and implementation of a comprehensive public policy on fire arms control, ammunition and disarmament. Through an online tool, it also allowed for a larger process of public consultations to citizens in various regions of the country. The Commission was in charge of evaluating the proposals and compiling a series of recommendations for the formulation of the Law, which was finally approved in 2013.
