UN ATT Conference, Day One: Palestinians

Day One: At Arms Trade Treaty Conference, U.S. Opposes Palestinian Inclusion, Heritage Foundry Foundry, July 3, 3012. "The much-heralded United Nations conference to negotiate the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) launched with a media and propaganda blitz, but the reality on the ground was less impressive. Not only did the conference achieve nothing in its first day, but it never got started. By closing time at 6 p.m.—U.N. translators don’t do overtime, so U.N. events end on time—the best the assembled nations could do was to agree to meet again at 10 a.m. on Tuesday in an effort to get the conference launched."
