Arms Trade Treaty Negotiations
Where we have been and the road ahead
This briefing, written by Saferworld’s Elizabeth Kirkham, was presented at a seminar on Towards an Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) in 2013, which was held in Brussels on 14 November 2012. The briefing looks back over the UNATT process from its inception in the form of UN General Assembly resolution 61/89 of 18 December 2006 to the latest decision taken at the UN General Assembly First Committee of 18 October 2012 to convene a final negotiating conference in March 2013. It analyses the draft text of the ATT and points out core issues that require further exploration in the future negotiation.
This briefing also served as a background paper for the first meeting of the EU-China-Africa Expert Working Group (EWG) on Conventional Arms held in Brussels on 13 November 2012.
