New UNA-UK Briefing note: The Arms Trade Treaty

There has been significant progress over the last few years towards the establishment of an international arms trade treaty, negotiated at the United Nations. This has been achieved largely by the tireless effort of NGOs who have campaigned for governments to support the adoption of such a UN treaty. However, the campaign is now at a crucial period that could decide whether the treaty will come to fruition or continue to be delayed by states putting their self interest over human security concerns. Action is now needed to ensure that the Arms Trade Treaty is adopted promptly and in an effective form.
