At the international level there are many issues that cause harm to the majority of the world's citizens. Many leaders design solutions that clearly benefit their “home” countries, resulting in unfair deals that are quickly rejected. However, a treaty introduced on April 2, 2013 rejects this biased view and creates a pact that can be accepted by all. The Arms Trade Treaty was designed to unite the world as a whole and provide safer lifestyles for all residents. The treaty focuses on the construction, transportation, trade and tracking of weapons. In conclusion, this treaty aims to resolve an international issue that jeopardizes the citizens of the United States, Germany, Iraq and all divisions of the world. Traditionally, treaties target a select group of countries based on current issues. The Arms Trade Treaty continues to focus on bringing all countries together to protect their citizens. The ATT opposes the “regulation of international trade” (UNODA) in weapons of all shapes and sizes. This includes, but is not limited to, firearms, tanks, training, and explosives. Additionally, this treaty requires registration of all arms exports. In my opinion, this treaty has an ideal goal that, if implemented correctly, would benefit world society. The purposes of the ATT are sufficient and necessary and must be maintained as quickly as possible. While this treatise seems flawless, it was built on the current flaws of our world. According to Oxfam International, millions of people suffer from illegal and harmful indirect and direct arms trafficking. Additionally, many live a life of constant danger, which could be diminished with the help of ATT. The main problem lies in the dispersion... middle of paper... In order for it to come into force, 50 states must ratify the ATT in their country. This may seem like an insignificant number, but currently only 31 countries have done so. This is surprising, as 118 countries have shown support. The unanimous support and ratification required by this treaty must be achieved soon to begin the extraordinary process of saving lives and making this world a safer place. Works Cited (2014).
