| Description | The paper analyses international debate that concerns the effective control framework towards the illicit arms trade and its impact on global peace and international security. The conventional arms trade is a wide spreading phenomenon that negatively affects many countries and regions all around the world. Unlike the trade of technologies and materials that could potentially be used in chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons, there are no comprehensive, global controls on the international trade in conventional arms (although some regional and multilateral frameworks have been developed). The Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) is a response to the appeals of governments, nongovernmental organizations and individuals that seek to create a regulatory mechanism on conventional arms in the international environment. The paper tries to identify main patterns of discussion, proponents, opponents and arguments that have defined the debate in the last decade. |
