"The European Union has an interest in, and responsibility for, the development and contribution of a transparent and regulated arms trade at international level. The Arms Trade Treaty must mark an important step forward, in the aim of establishing high standards and criteria for the purpose of assessments in the run-up to decisions to transfer, import and export arms. We need a treaty in the European Union that essentially prohibits and controls the illegal movement and transfer of arms. The Arms Trade Treaty must emphasise to the States Parties that all decisions to import, export or transfer arms must fully respect existing international commitments, especially in terms of international human rights laws, and be compatible with the UN Charter. The treaty must also ensure that the States Parties will not transfer arms to countries where there is a serious risk of their being used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international human rights laws and international humanitarian law, including genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes."@en1
