Rebecca Peters is the Director [ [http://www.iansa.org/about/secretariat.htm About us: IANSA Secretariat] ] of the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA). As chair of the (Australian) National Coalition for Gun Control at the time of the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, Peters played a key role in the introduction of stricter gun control and gun confiscation, in Australia, an area in which she remains active today.

The Umut Foundation says:

Prior to her work with IANSA, Peters worked for the Open Society Institute, a private foundation funded by George Soros.

:"The most expensive kind of violence, is gun violence" " - Rebecca Peters, 'Great Gun Debate'

She has been criticized by the National Rifle Association in the United States, which believes that Rebecca Peters, along with the United Nations, wishes to "strip all citizens of all nations of their right to self-protection" via gun-ownership by "banning civilian ownership of firearms". The U.N. maintains that it has no desire to attempt to outlaw gun ownership in any country.Fact|date=January 2008
