Summary
The fourth edition of the ATT Monitor evaluates the state of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) through three primary lenses: regional analysis of Asia and Latin America/Caribbean, an assessment of annual and initial reporting practices by State Parties, and an investigation into arms diversion. It identifies significant gaps in reporting compliance, specifically regarding the failure of State Parties to update initial reports on national control systems.
Key insights
- The report identifies Asia as a region characterized by low membership in the Arms Trade Treaty, increasing arms imports, and a trend of countries starting or expanding their own arms production and export activities.
- Analysis of ATT Annual Reports reveals discrepancies between reported exports from one State Party and corresponding imports reported by another, which affects the quality and functionality of the reporting system.
- State Parties are failing to comply with Article 13.3 of the ATT, which requires updates to national arms transfer control systems; this lack of updated information may hinder treaty implementation and transparency.
- The report examines arms diversion in Latin America and the Caribbean, analyzing both the ATT's provisions and the specific policy and programming responses of State Parties in that region from production to end use.
