EU support to the Arms trade treaty implementation

Summary/Abstract: The European Union's Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) aims to preserve peace and strengthen international security in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Charter. With the adoption of the Arms Trade Agreement (ATT) under the auspices of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly, the objectives of the European Union (EU) and the UN on improving living and security conditions by ensuring responsible trade in all types of conventional military weapons and systems, ammunition, related technology, spare parts, and components have coincided. This is especially due to the fact that all EU member states are parties to the Agreement. Activities aimed at preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction and disarmament contribute to the effective implementation of other international treaties, conventions, and agreements dealing with weapons of mass destruction and conventional weapons. The goal of controlling the trade in conventional weapons is to reduce the illegal accumulation and trade in these weapons, thus contributing to peace, security, and stability in Europe and the world. Work on promotion and support for the implementation of the Agreement should be continued because Belarus, India, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, and the Russian Federation are among the 54 countries that have not joined it. It is especially aimed at continuing the harmonisation of legislation with international standards, further improving the control of internal and external arms trade, reducing incidents committed with weapons and the number of illegal weapons in the possession of citizens, removing surplus small and light weapons, ammunition, and explosives for civilian use in the Republic of Serbia, and fostering close multilateral and bilateral cooperation in this area.
