I think it's extremely important. Oxfam worked hard to achieve the adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty because we thought it was necessary. There was a gap in international regulation. There are many other kinds of regulations. The Arms Trade Treaty works with and alongside those. It's complementary to things like the Wassenaar Arrangement. It's also complementary in Africa, for example, to things like the ECOWAS convention and other sub-regional agreements. They all have their part to play, but certainly for us the Arms Trade Treaty is an essential part of international law in the control of arms.
