Reflecting on the Arms Trade Treaty’s first ten years and looking towards effective implementation in its second decade

The Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) celebrates the tenth anniversary of its entry into force on 24 December 2024. The anniversary provides an opportunity to reflect on the treaty’s development and aims and forward to the treaty’s implementation and future. To commemorate the anniversary, the Stimson Center undertook the ATT at 10 Project, bringing together those involved in the treaty’s development and those involved in today’s implementation, to provide a look back at the first ten years of the ATT and recommendations to strengthen ATT implementation and universalization in the coming decade. This event will discuss the first decade of the ATT’s implementation and the opportunities for the ATT in the future.
