Terrorist Legitimation, UN-Style

Arms Trade Treaty Risks Increasing the Threat of Armed Terrorism, Heritage Foundation Issue Brief #3624, June 5, 2012. "The U.N. Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) will be negotiated at a conference held July 2–27, in New York. The ATT purports to seek, in part, to reduce the ability of terrorists to acquire conventional weapons. But as the U.N. has not defined terrorism, it is at best unclear how the ATT will achieve this aim. Moreover, if the U.N. negotiations follow precedent, the ATT will include a clause that legitimates the supply of arms to terrorists."
