MIXED RESULTS IN 2021 UN ARMS TRADE TREATY REVIEW

On 25 October, a report from the Stimson Center says that States Parties to the UN Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) are required to report on their conventional arms exports and imports each year.  These reports have the potential to provide much-needed transparency in the notoriously opaque global arms trade – but ATT annual reporting has yet to live up to its full potential.  The report highlights the key trends, transparency issues, and good practices exemplified by the 2021 annual reports and considers whether some of the negative transparency trends that have plagued reporting for years may finally be showing signs of reversing.
