International Arms Trade Treaty

The International Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) is an international agreement aimed at regulating the global trade of conventional weapons, such as guns, tanks, and military equipment. Its goal is to prevent arms from fueling conflicts, human rights abuses, and illegal trafficking. Countries that adopt the treaty commit to establishing national controls, evaluating the risks of exporting weapons, and preventing arms from reaching unauthorized users. The ATT promotes transparency, accountability, and shared responsibility among participating nations, helping to reduce violence and promote peace by ensuring responsible arms transfers worldwide.
