Although the global Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) was passed
into international law in December 2014, the global arms
trade still accounts for many thousands of deaths, injuries,
and relocations every day. To address the global arms
problem, Amnesty International calls on national
governments to ratify the ATT and develop laws to enforce
the treaty.

3. Amnesty International
 For many countries, effective enforcement of the ATT
involves monitoring the activities of military service
providers and manufacturing companies, as well as
arms brokers and dealers. Since the passage of the
ATT, governments have controlled the arms trade by
granting and refusing arms licenses and imposing
suspensions and embargoes on arms trade.
