“While the President of the Diplomatic Conference will be able to take the draft treaty to the General Assembly for adoption during the current session, Iran, North Korea and Syria’s decision to prevent it being adopted unanimously at the treaty conference is unconscionable”

“By vetoing this historic document, Iran, North Korea and Syria demonstrate the challenges civil society and supportive governments faced during the negotiations. In campaigning for this treaty, we called upon states to save lives and reduce human suffering and, fortunately, most governments heeded the call”

“The global arms trade is hugely dominated by about 20 exporting countries and a handful of very large import-dependent countries, with the USA, EU, Russia and China at the top. So getting that balance right to have all or most of the trade included while winning a robust treaty is not at all easy, but that's what we're going to have to do.”

“The originality of the Arms Trade Treaty idea was that – for the first time in history – states would have to consider international human rights and humanitarian law, as well as international criminal law, as a basis on which to decide whether an arms transfer across borders should go ahead. That is the kernel of the idea of the ATT, and it came from a few of us in a little room in Amnesty. And it's still the centre of the negotiations”

De graves lacunes dans la nouvelle version du projet de traité sur le commerce des armes font que ce traité n’empêcherait pas les transferts d’armes vers des pays où elles risquent d’être utilisées pour commettre ou faciliter des exécutions sommaires et arbitraires, des actes de torture et des disparitions forcées, a déclaré Amnesty International lundi 25 mars.
