Arms Trade Treaty: A Commentary
«The commentary constitutes a meticulous and well-structured study of the ATT that will be highly useful not only to academics but also to practitioners working on the subject of arms transfers. Above all, it sheds light on a number of vague terms and potential loopholes in the ATT by reference to the treatyâs drafting process, its object and purpose, States partiesâ other relevant obligations under international law and their initial views on how the treaty should be interpreted.»

does not detail how such a body should be established and how it should effectively function. The Arms Trade Treaty: A Commentary explains in detail each of the treaty provisions, the parameters for prohibitions or the denial of transfers, international cooperation and assistance, and implementation
obligations and mechanisms. As states ratify and implement the Treaty over the next few years, the commentary provides invaluable guidance to government officials, commentators, and scholars on the meaning of its contentious provisions. This volume describes in detail which weapons are covered by the treaty and explains the different forms of transfer that the Arms Trade Treaty regulates. It covers international human rights, trade, disarmament, humanitarian law, criminal law, and
state-to-state use of force, as well as the application of the treaty to non-state actors.
