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.

Action is now needed to ensure that the Arms Trade Treaty is adopted promptly and in an effective form.
