The USA is the world&#8217;s largest arms dealer, but has so far had a mixed record of suspending arms supplies on human rights grounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe now need to see this commitment by the US &#8211; and the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/disarmament\/ATT\/\">86 other countries that have signed the Arms Trade Treaty<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; matched by action. They must implement the Treaty and bring to an end the supply of weapons to countries where they would be used to commit or facilitate genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes or other serious human rights violations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tragic situation in Syria underlines the horrific human cost of the reckless global arms trade. The Arms Trade Treaty is the opportunity to prevent such human suffering in the future. Governments must seize this once in a lifetime opportunity. The world is now waiting for China and Russia to match the US commitment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Amnesty International\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/news\/long-journey-towards-arms-trade-treaty-2013-03-27\">has campaigned since the early 1990s<\/a>to achieve robust, legally binding global rules on international arms transfers to stem the flow of conventional arms and munitions that fuel atrocities and abuse. The organization believes that the Arms Trade Treaty represents a significant step towards this goal and provides a firm foundation to better regulate the international flow of weapons.<\/p>\n<p>The ATT prohibits states from transferring conventional weapons to countries when they know those weapons would be used to commit or facilitate genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes.<\/p>\n<p>The Treaty also obligates all governments to assess the risk of transferring arms, ammunition or components to another country where they could be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law. Where that overriding risk is real and cannot be mitigated, states have agreed the transfer will not go forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amnesty International click here for original article At a Glance At least\u00a0500,000 people die every year\u00a0on average and millions more are displaced and abused as result of armed violence and conflict The USA is by far the\u00a0world\u2019s largest arms trader, accounting for around 30 per cent of conventional arms transfers in terms of value The [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2191,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[8],"tags":[170],"class_list":["post-2190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-arms-trade-treaty"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.9 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Amnesty International click here for original article At a Glance At least 500,000 people die every year on average and millions more are displaced and abused as result of armed violence and conflict The USA is by far the world\u2019s largest arms trader, accounting for around 30 per cent of conventional arms transfers in terms of value The\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Katerina Canyon\"\/>\n\t<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/peaceeconomyproject.org\/wordpress\/usa-set-to-sign-arms-trade-treaty\/\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"All in One SEO (AIOSEO) 4.9.9\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"| Cut Military Spending.
