The Weapons-free Villages Campaign

Once the PMC was satisfied that a village no longer contained weapons, a ceremony was held where village leaders signed a 'weapons-free declaration': a solemn pledge that they would work to keep the village free of all weapons in the future.

The village was then presented with a certificate and a 'weapons-free' sign proclaiming its status. The sign asks others to respect the wishes of the villagers not to bring guns back into their community.
