In its concluding remarks, the delegation of the Bahamas stated that the guns used in the commission of violent crimes in the country were not manufactured there, but, instead, were manufactured abroad and illegally trafficked across the country’s vast borders. Large gun-manufacturing countries should have more responsibility and oversight of their gun suppliers. Too often, systems in the manufacturing countries were circumvented, resulting in violence in countries such as the Bahamas. The delegation asked for the intervention of multilateral organizations, such as the United Nations, to assist in cross-border enforcement in situations involving guns, as their illegal use severely affected human rights. The Bahamas reassured the members of the Human Rights Council of its continued commitment to the promotion and protection of human rights. II. Conclusions and/or recommendations 122.
