肯尼亚相信，建立普遍适用的制度来控制火器的生产和转让，是一个关键的优先事项，对我们地区来说尤其如此，因为我们地区仍然继续遭受不负责任地转让和管理小武器和轻武器的后果之害。
Kenya is persuaded that a universally applicable regime to control the manufacture and transfer of firearms is a key priority, particularly for our part of the world, which still continues to suffer the effects of irresponsible transfers and management of small arms and light weapons.
因此，我们仍然致力于执行《小武器和轻武器行动纲领》，并在倡导制定关于控制小武器贸易的具有法律约束力的文书方面发挥带头作用。
We therefore remain committed to the actualization of the Programme of Action on Small Arms and Light Weapons and to taking a leading role in advocating for the establishment of a legally binding treaty to control the small-arms trade.
