 Arms Trade Treaty at Wikisource | |
The Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) is a multilateral treaty that regulates the international trade in conventional weapons.
It entered into force on 24 December 2014.[1] 113 states have ratified the treaty, and a further 28 states have signed but not ratified it.[2]
The ATT is an attempt to regulate the international trade of conventional weapons for the purpose of contributing to international and regional peace; reducing human suffering; and promoting co-operation, transparency, and responsible action by and among states.[3][4]
The treaty was negotiated in New York City at a global conference under the auspices of the United Nations (UN) from 2–27 July 2012.[5] As it was not possible to reach an agreement on a final text at that time, a new meeting for the conference was scheduled for 18–28 March 2013.[6] On 2 April 2013, the UN General Assembly adopted the ATT.[7][8]
International weapons commerce has been estimated to reach US$70 billion a year.[9]
