OUVRAGE : S. Casey-Maslen, A. Clapham, G. Giacca, S. Parker, The Arms Trade Treaty: A Commentary

Stuart CASEY-MASLEN, Andrew CLAPHAM, Gilles GIACCA, Sarah PARKER

The United Nations Arms Trade Treaty became binding international law in late 2014, and although the text of the treaty is a relatively concise framework for assessing whether to authorize or deny proposed conventional weapons transfers by States Parties, there exists controversy as to the meaning of certain key provisions. Furthermore, the treaty requires a national regulatory body to authorize proposed transfers of conventional weapons covered by the treaty, but does not detail how such a body should be established and how it should effectively function.
