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 The Arms Trade Treaty A Commentary written by Andrew Clapham and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-09 with total page 545 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.

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.

Download or read book Saving Lives with Common Sense written by Scott Stedjan and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ATT is a common sense agreement that will have a positive impact on civilians living in the midst of armed conflict or unstable environments, poverty alleviation, and US security. Now is the time for the US Senate to do its part and support this life-saving Treaty. The Arms Trade Treaty is in the US national interest: it prevents the harm that comes with the illicit and irresponsible international arms trade, furthers the establishment of a global order that allows for the legitimate transfer of arms, and does not interfere with firearms rights in the United States. The US Senate should welcome the Treaty and move forward with providing its advice and consent to ratification. By becoming a State Party to the ATT, the United States will be able to participate in implementation of the Treaty; propose, debate, and vote on amendments; and influence the budget and staffing of the ATT Secretariat. US ratification will encourage other countries to support the Treaty.

Download or read book China and Intervention at the UN Security Council written by Courtney J. Fung and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What explains China's response to intervention at the UN Security Council? China and Intervention at the UN Security Council argues that status is an overlooked determinant in understanding its decisions, even in the apex cases that are shadowed by a public discourse calling for foreign-imposed regime change in Sudan, Libya, and Syria. It posits that China reconciles its status dilemma as it weighs decisions to intervene: seeking recognition from both its intervention peer groups of great powers and developing states. Understanding the impact and scope conditions of status answers why China has taken certain positions regarding intervention and how these positions were justified. Foreign policy behavior that complies with status, and related social factors like self-image and identity, means that China can select policy options bearing material costs. China and Intervention at the UN Security Council offers a rich study of Chinese foreign policy, going beyond works available in breadth and in depth. It draws on an extensive collection of data, including over two hundred interviews with UN officials and Chinese foreign policy elites, participant observation at UN Headquarters, and a dataset of Chinese-language analysis regarding foreign-imposed regime change and intervention. The book concludes with new perspectives on the malleability of China's core interests, insights about the application of status for cooperation and the implications of the status dilemma for rising powers.
