All too often, international arms transfers are shrouded in secrecy, undermining efforts to promote responsibility, minimize risks, and build confidence among countries involved in the global arms trade. While national reporting under the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) has provided valuable insights into arms trade dynamics, there is more that can be done. Join the Stimson Center and the ATT Monitor for an expert discussion of the progress made to advance arms trade transparency during this year’s Eighth Conference of States Parties to the ATT as well as the steps that governments, civil society, and other stakeholders can take to further enhance public understanding of the international arms trade in the years to come.
