Congressional Leadership on ATT Needed

U.N. Arms Trade Treaty: Congress Should Show Leadership in Advance of the ATT Negotiations, Heritage Foundation Issue Brief #3863, February 26, 2013. "Next month, the United Nations will hold a second negotiating conference on the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). The first conference, held in July 2012, failed to reach consensus agreement on a treaty text. Before that conference, both the Senate and House played a constructive role in the treaty process by making their wide-ranging concerns about the ATT clear to the executive branch. Congress should now show similar leadership before the negotiations resume.
