UNITED NATIONS CHARTER
Illegal arms transfers violate UN charter obligations to maintain and strengthen international peace and security, and to achieve international cooperation in problem-solving. An Arms Trade Treaty must ensure no transfer is permitted when there is a clear risk the arms will be used to violate the UN Charter.
The treaty must be all-inclusive.
It must include all weapons, all transfers, and all transactions.
ALL WEAPONS
Armed violence is not caused by only those weapons in the hands of unlawful groups. An Arms Trade Treaty must include all military, security, and police arms, related equipment and ammunition, and training.
ALL TRANSFERS AND TRANSACTIONS
Arms do not only enter borders via direct sales. An Arms Trade Treaty must control the import, export, and re-export of weapons, in addition to temporary transfer and transshipments, loans, gifts, and aid. It must also control those who provide training, transport, storage, and finance.
The treaty must be workable and enforceable.
It must provide guidelines for full, clear implementation.
TRANSPARENCY AND COOPERATION
Arms regulations can’t be made or implemented behind closed doors. An Arms Trade Treaty must be transparent and must include a comprehensive plan for international cooperation and reporting.
COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Arms agreements must be enforceable. An Arms Trade Treaty must have a mechanism for monitoring compliance, and must include provisions for dispute settlement and sanctions.
