DISARMAMENT: United Nations to Pursue Conventional Arms Trade Treaty

UNITED NATIONS, Oct 30 (IPS) – The United Nations, which is pursuing a proposal for “a world without nuclear weapons”, will soon turn its attention to another new goal in the field of disarmament: creating a legally-binding treaty on conventional arms.

The proposed new treaty, which is expected to be ready for a U.N. Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty in 2012, will regulate the global trade in conventional arms, including fighter planes, combat helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, warships, missiles, battle tanks and armoured personnel carriers.

By an overwhelming majority, the 192-member General Assembly adopted a resolution Friday (30/10/09), after years of negotiations, that sets the stage for “common international standards for the import, export and transfer of conventional arms”.

Some of the world’s biggest arms traders, including the United States, Britain, France and Germany, supported the resolution, which garnered 153 out of 192 votes.

The 19 states that abstained included two of the remaining major arms exporters, Russia and China, along with countries with active domestic arms industries: Egypt, India, Iran and Pakistan.
