Sure. I can start on that, and others can come in as well.
Fundamentally, the ATT is seeking to establish common standards that reduce the illicit trade in arms. Terrorist organizations and groups do seek to acquire arms, including the arms that are included in the treaty. The thinking is that, as states introduce stronger assessment criteria within their systems, that will help to capture arms that may have been procured by terrorist organizations, whether through better brokering controls or better assessment criteria, as those states, particularly in areas affected by conflict, introduce in their system a higher standard of export controls that reduces the ability of terrorist organizations to acquire the weapons in the same way they may have done in the past.
The assessment criteria in article 7 that my colleague Ms. Gilmour and I spoke to speaks about assessing the risk to peace and security that the export of the particular weapon could have, and it obligates states to take that into consideration in their assessment of whether the particular weapon should be exported.
Again, by obligating states parties to take that into consideration, our hope is not only that the system will be stronger, but that states themselves will assess that criteria within their decision-making process.
