Version 2: 2 December 2020 v The Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) is a legally binding instrument regulating international transfers of conventional weapons (including SALW). The ATT was developed under the auspices of the UNGA First Committee, with its own resolutions and process. While the ATT was developed in parallel, it was not developed under the SALW POA. The first ATT resolution “Towards an Arms Trade Treaty” in 2006 (A/Res/61/89) established a GGE to examine the feasibility of a treaty. An OEWG was then established in 2008, after which the UNGA decided to a PrepCom and then several rounds of Diplomatic Conferences to negotiate text. The ATT was adopted by the UN General Assembly on 2 April 2013 with 154 votes in favour, 3 votes against, and 23 abstentions. vi National reporting was first raised in the 2001 Conference Report, which requested the Secretary-General to collate and circulate national reports on implementation of the Programme of Action, provided by States on a voluntary basis. 17 countries reported against the POA in 2002 (Australia’s 2002 National Report). vii UNSCAR: supports ratification, accession and implementation of relevant international instruments and arms regulations; coordinates, monitors and matches capacity building needs with resources; and increases sustainability of international assistance through predictable sources of funding. Entities eligible for funding include UN partner entities, international/regional organisations, NGOs and research institutes. Governments wishing to receive assistance can work with eligible entities who can submit a proposal to UNSCAR. Eligible entities can submit proposals for UNSCAR funds once a year during the annual call for proposals. Between 2013 and 2018, UNSCAR funded 64 projects on a total budget of approximately US$9M, from 12 donors, with 140 States benefitting directly or indirectly from the activities funded.
