Abstract

Three years after the vote of resolution 61/89 by the United Nations General Assembly, 153 States (including the United States) came to a conclusion once again in favor of an Arms Trade Treaty.

The stakes of the discussions to come remain important: defining categories of materials and transfers concerned, determining parameters of application, which place is to be reserved to the human rights within the Treaty.
