Reinvigorating the Narrative: The Broader Benefits of the Arms Trade Treaty

The Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) aims to advance international peace, security and stability, reduce human suffering and promote cooperation and transparency to foster a responsible trade in conventional arms. As the first of its kind, the treaty sets global standards to improve the regulation of international trade in conventional arms and to reduce and prevent their illicit trade and diversion.The Centre for Armed Violence Reduction has partnered with Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to gather the broader benefits of the ATT into a single, readily accessible compendium. You have here a practical guide that enables officials, NGOs, academics and participants in the arms trade to weigh the value of the ATT.《武器贸易条约（Arms Trade Treaty，ATT）》旨在推动国际和平、安全与稳定，减轻人类苦难，促进国际合作与贸易透明度，以推动负责任的常规武器贸易发展。作为全球首部同类条约，该条约确立了全球标准，用以强化常规武器国际贸易的监管，并减少与防范其非法贸易及非法转移行为。全球武装暴力减少中心（Centre for Armed Violence Reduction）已与澳大利亚外交贸易部（Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade）合作，将该条约的多维度益处汇编为一份易于获取的综合手册。本手册为政府官员、非政府组织（Non-Governmental Organizations，简称NGO）、学者及武器贸易从业者提供了评估该条约价值的实用指南。
