Arms trade treaty under United nations is again in the news, as few more countries joining the bench of ATT's ratified listers, As it seems for now it will passed within a year, if not by the end of 2014.
The Ambitious treaty which some think may act as a strong measure of fighting global illicit arms trade is still to go through much up's and down's before it passes finally as the some countries are still arguing that it's weak and and full of unbalanced obligation, merely because they too have their own problems with the treaty, but still they are not completely wrong about it.
Countries such as India , china , Russia , Myanmar, SriLanka have shown their dissatisfaction against the treaty by abstaining when the treaty was passed last year and United states still to ratify it reflects the continuing dilemma with the treaty, However each country have it's own share of problems with it.
Arms trade treaty which promises to at least try to prevent diversion of arms for crimes and genocides by curbing illicit trade of conventional firearms , artillery, missiles and ammunition by evaluating the potential arms deal and putting obligation on importer as well as exporter country.
The treaty which is an important milestone in protecting the human rights is been alleged to be imbalance in obligations between arms exporters and importers by the countries who abstained when it was passed,even Pakistan who voted in favor of the treaty have also expressed its concern over it.
Sujata Mehta, India’s Permanent representative to the Geneva Conference of Disarmament during the UNGA session, said “At this stage we are not in a position to endorse the text contained as annexure to document. Therefore, India has abstained on the resolution” contra dictating that it does not explicitly cover predator drones and grenades.
Also India being one of the biggest exporter of arms have problem with ATT's inclination towards obligation of importer countries not different from the reason Pakistan is worried.
United states have passed the treaty in past, yet to be ratified because many senators oppose which is the result of active lobbying by American gun companies not to mention USA, its allies have armed rebels in Nicaragua, Syria, Libya, even, Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.
In USA- this ATT treaty yet to be ratified. Many senators oppose it. Why?
Lets see what happens next, but whatever happens will effect the world peace, this way or the other.

In USA- this ATT treaty yet to be ratified. Many senators oppose it. Why?
- American Gun Companies don’t like this treaty (after all, they make truckload of cash exporting weapons to rebels and mass-murderers in Africa)
- (So, as the common sense suggests), they’d have paid suitcases to Senators, to oppose this ratification in US Congress.
Lets see what happens next, but whatever happens will effect the world peace, this way or the other.
