In the UN, More ATT

The Arms Trade Treaty Moves Forward, Heritage Foundation Foundry, November 13, 2012. "On Wednesday, the First Committee of the U.N. General Assembly approved a resolution to hold a final negotiating conference on the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) on March 18–28, using the treaty text from last July’s conference, and under the rule of consensus (i.e. any nation can block the treaty by objecting to it). The General Assembly must now consider the resolution, but it is a foregone conclusion that they will approve it by an overwhelming margin."
