Treaty Summary:
The Arms Trade Treaty sets global standards for the trading of conventional arms (from small arms and light weapons to warships and attack aircraft), with the objective of mitigating the serious security and humanitarian consequences of their illicit trade. The core controls regulate the export of conventional arms in circumstances that would either violate existing international obligations, or give rise to a substantial risk of a serious violation of international humanitarian law or international human rights law. In addition, the Treaty requires imports, transit, transhipment and brokering of conventional arms to be regulated to varying degrees.
