"The arms trade has a huge impact, encouraging conflicts, poverty and human rights violations throughout the world, but is an area of global trade that has hitherto been opaque, and poorly and ineffectively regulated. The scope of the arms trade is growing constantly and its growth was not even halted by the global economic recession. We therefore urgently need to reach an agreement on a global Arms Trade Treaty, which would be binding for all actors involved in the arms trade, and to also establish an effective system for monitoring and reviewing the treaty. At the same time, we need to strengthen the fight against illicit trading in arms and corruption. The level of democracy, stability and respect for human rights should be one of the most important criteria enshrined in the treaty. The treaty should ensure that in such painful cases as Syria at the moment, the supply of arms is halted immediately, knowing that they are being used to kill civilians."@en1
