ARMS TRADE TREATY
The Arms Trade Treaty is the name of a potential multilateral treaty that would regulate the international trade in conventional weapons.

WHY IS A TREATY BEING
CONSIDERED?
The global trade in conventional weapons, from warships and battle tanks to fighter jets and machine guns, remains poorly regulated. No internationally agreed standards exist to ensure that arms are transferred responsibly. ATT DEVELOPMENT
• Initially started in 2001 at a UN Conference on Small Arms Trade
• Brought back again in 2003 by Nobel Peace Lauriate Oscar Arias
• In 2006, the UN embarked on a preparatory process to negotiate
• In 2009, US changed stance and told UN to redraft the treaty
• In 2012 The treaty was to be negotiated
• A new conference is scheduled for 18–28 March 2013.
