WORLD'S FIRST BINDING TREATY ON CONVENTIONAL ARMS TRADE OPENS FOR
SIGNATURE AT UNNew York, Jun 3 2013 2:00PMThe first international
treaty regulating the global arms trade opened for signature at United
Nations Headquarters this morning, culminating a decades-long push to
halt illegal shipments of weapons such as missiles, combat aircraft
and attack helicopters.

Approved overwhelmingly two months ago in the UN General Assembly by a
vote of 154 to three – Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK),
Iran and Syria – with 23 abstentions, the treaty, according to the UN
Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA), "will foster peace and
security by putting a stop to destabilizing arms flows to conflict
regions."

"It will prevent human rights abusers and violators of the law of war
from being supplied with arms. And it will help keep warlords,
pirates, and gangs from acquiring these deadly tools," UNODA states.

Angela Kane, UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, opened
this morning's special event, saying that the day opens "a new chapter
in which States will sign up to an international contract bringing
responsibility and transparency to the global arms trade." While the
treaty is "not perfect," she said it is certainly "robust".

Some 30 countries are listed to take part in today's events, which
will be capped by a Ministerial segment this even, which will be
opened by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and is expected to feature a
keynote address by Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, President of Liberia and
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.

The Treaty will come into force 90 days after it has been signed by 50
nations. Though it will not control the domestic weapons use, once
ratified, it will require States to establish national regulations to
control the transfer of conventional arms and regulate arms brokers,
among other objectives.Jun 3 2013 2:00PM
