| Abstract: | The Arms Trade Treaty, the first global legal instrument in history devoted to regulating the trade in conventional arms, came into force in December 2014. It was the product of more than a decade of campaigning, and of two separate sessions of hard negotiation and compromise. This talk will examine the multiple objections to the arms trade that led to the movement for international legal regulation; look at the major areas of dispute between key States in the negotiations; and then cast a critical eye on the central provisions of the Treaty. It concludes by summarizing the major weaknesses and omissions of the Treaty and evaluates its likely impact. |
