Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years states have increasingly begun to recognize that the regulation of the international trade in conventional arms is a necessary and essential component of national and international security. National systems have been established and enhanced, and a number of regional agreements have been adopted, with a marked level of commonality across these agreements. Still, the network of systems is incomplete and the patchwork that currently exists raises the risk of loopholes being used to permit potentially dangerous international arms transfers. As states move forward with an Arms Trade Treaty, some of these loopholes may be eliminated. However, even with an ATT, states will still be required to make national decisions concerning arms transfers, whether to allow a transfer and how to implement their various national procedures. An ATT will set specific minimum standards that all states will be expected to incorporate into their national laws and processes. This practical guide is intended to assist states in meeting their future obligations under a treaty. However, irrespective of the ATT, the guide is available for states' use to enhance and develop their national systems. States are continually updating and putting in place the building blocks for an effective national system. These building blocks are essential for effective transfer controls, at both the national and global levels, and should be taken into account regardless of the ATT process. Once an Arms Trade Treaty is negotiated, states that have developed comprehensive national transfer control systems will be better placed to effectively and efficiently implement the ATT.

Download or read book Beyond Viktor Bout Why the United States needs an Arms Trade Treaty written by Colby Goodman and published by Oxfam. This book was released on 2011 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the high profile trial of Viktor Bout in New York will show some of the threats the world continues to face from unscrupulous private arms brokers, it only provides a glimpse into a much larger problem. Skilled at operating in the shadows and exploiting weak national arms transfer controls, arms brokers have funneled arms to almost every country under a UN arms embargoes in the last 15 years, often fueling armed conflict and serious human rights violations. The US has worked on at least 70 US prosecutions in the last five years that have charged defendants with crimes related to illegal arms brokering. Yet, it continues to face difficulties in bringing arms brokers to justice and shutting down criminal networks. The lack of effective legal systems addressing the arms trade in many countries enables illicit arms dealers to exploit regulatory gaps and carry out their activities with impunity. The US and the world need an effective global Arms Trade Treaty to help close these gaps and stop the irresponsible trade in deadly weapons.

Download or read book The Arms Trade Treaty written by Stuart Casey-Maslen and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The United Nations Arms Trade Treaty became binding international law in late 2014, and although the text of the treaty is a relatively concise framework for assessing whether to authorize or deny proposed conventional weapons transfers by States Parties, there exists controversy as to the meaning of certain key provisions. Furthermore, the treaty requires a national regulatory body to authorize proposed transfers of conventional weapons covered by the treaty, but does not detail how such a body should be established and how it should effectively function. The Arms Trade Treaty: A Commentary explains in detail each of the treaty provisions, the parameters for prohibitions or the denial of transfers, international cooperation and assistance, and implementation obligations and mechanisms. As states ratify and implement the Treaty over the next few years, the commentary provides invaluable guidance to government officials, commentators, and scholars on the meaning of its contentious provisions. This volume describes in detail which weapons are covered by the treaty and explains the different forms of transfer that the Arms Trade Treaty regulates. It covers international human rights, trade, disarmament, humanitarian law, criminal law, and state-to-state use of force, as well as the application of the treaty to non-state actors." -- Publisher's website.

Download or read book Dangerous Trade written by Jennifer Erickson and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Nations's groundbreaking Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which went into effect in 2014, sets legally binding standards to regulate global arms exports and reflects the growing concerns toward the significant role that small and major conventional arms play in perpetuating human rights violations, conflict, and societal instability worldwide. Many countries that once staunchly opposed shared export controls and their perceived threat to political and economic autonomy are now beginning to embrace numerous agreements, such as the ATT and the EU Code of Conduct. Jennifer L. Erickson explores the reasons top arms-exporting democracies have put aside past sovereignty, security, and economic worries in favor of humanitarian arms transfer controls, and she follows the early effects of this about-face on export practice. She begins with a brief history of failed arms export control initiatives and then tracks arms transfer trends over time. Pinpointing the normative shifts in the 1990s that put humanitarian arms control on the table, she reveals that these states committed to these policies out of concern for their international reputations. She also highlights how arms trade scandals threaten domestic reputations and thus help improve compliance. Using statistical data and interviews conducted in France, Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Erickson challenges existing IR theories of state behavior while providing insight into the role of reputation as a social mechanism and the importance of government transparency and accountability in generating compliance with new norms and rules.

Download or read book Towards a Universal Arms Trade Treaty written by Giacomo Persi Paoli and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), adopted in 2013 and in force since 24 December 2014, is the first international legally binding treaty to control the transfers of conventional arms. It aims to establish the highest possible common standards for regulating the international trade in these weapons to prevent and eradicate their illicit trade and to prevent diversion in order to contribute to regional and international peace, security and stability. The ATT does this by setting minimum standards that all countries should introduce and implement at the national level, such as comprehensive legislation, national control lists, case-by-case risk assessment of licence requests, and transparency measures. Since the adoption and entry into force of the Treaty, the goal of the international community has been twofold: to support the Treaty's implementation, and to promote its universalisation. This project aims to support universalisation of the Treaty by identifying barriers and obstacles (e.g. political, administrative, legal, budgetary, technical) to its ratification or accession, and by generating a set of proposals for actions to overcome these, be they at the national, regional or international level. As such, this project contributes to the goals of the United Nations Trust Facility Supporting Cooperation on Arms Regulation (UNSCAR), which include supporting the ratification of, or accession to, the ATT as well as improving the effectiveness of assistance.

Book excerpt: "Public reporting is a key means by which the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) will become more than a set of obligations and actually affect States' behavior. Fully transparent reporting will build confidence amongst States, allowing States to demonstrate that they are implementing the treaty, and provide a basis for States and civil society to assess how the ATT is being applied in practice. For the purposes of demonstrating compliance with the provisions of the ATT, transparency means that States must regularly provide accurate, comprehensive, timely and public information on exports, imports and other international transfers of conventional arms covered by the Treaty. States must also report on the implementation of the Treaty under their national laws, regulations and administrative procedures, including relevant enforcement actions and international cooperation and assistance activities. This document focuses on why States should transparently report on their international arms trade and transfers. It also provides a brief overview of transparency initiatives to date, and outlines how a reporting mechanism could be incorporated into the Treaty"--Publisher's description.
