After a decade of implementation, Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) reporting trends and practices are beginning to stabilize. Yet, the global context is changing rapidly: conflict is proliferating, engagement in multilateral forums is declining, and military expenditures are rising. Against this backdrop, how has a more fragmented and volatile global environment shaped the way States are implementing and engaging with the ATT?
Join the Stimson Center for an expert discussion on the current state of arms trade transparency. Panelists assess ATT annual reporting trends, examine persistent challenges facing reporting efforts, and consider how governments, civil society, and other stakeholders can further strengthen reporting on the international arms trade.
What will it take not only to sustain progress, but to deepen transparency and accountability in the years ahead?
This event will launch a new Stimson analysis reflecting on the past year of ATT annual reporting and discuss global approaches to transparency in the arms trade.
