Arms Trade Transparency

As the world’s largest arms exporter, the United States has a special responsibility to ensure its security cooperation, military assistance, and arms transfers adhere to the highest standards of oversight and accountability. The Arms Trade Transparency Project explores the importance of transparency in fostering more responsible U.S. arms transfer practices and supporting legislative and public scrutiny and oversight, to ensure that arms transfer decisions reflect enduring U.S. interests, commitments, and values. The project provides clear recommendations for the executive and legislative branches to enhance transparency and foster accountability in the U.S. arms trade.
