Taking Stock of the Arms Trade Treaty

Examining trends, challenges, and opportunities to strengthen implementation of the ATT, with a focus on transparency and reporting

About the Project

This project aims to support effective implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). In particular, it seeks to advance the treaty’s transparency objectives by identifying trends, challenges, and good practices for fulfilling the treaty’s reporting requirements; assessing the ATT’s contributions to transparency in the global arms trade; and developing resources and identifying opportunities to enhance ATT reporting efforts. The project is funded through the generous support of the governments of Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.
