Summary/Abstract: The international arms trade constitutes an important factor that shapes global security system. For many countries, greater international control over export sales is essential to strengthening international stability.

It also describes international efforts to create legally-binding arms trade regime with global scope. Their main goal is a treaty that requires strong national laws against the selling and brokering of illegal arms deals.
