At the ATT, A Classic Illustration of How to Blame the U.S.

The Arms Trade Treaty: The Big Lie About July 2012, Heritage Foundation Foundry, April 1, 2013. "One of the unreported stories about the negotiation of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) at the United Nations is the effort by many U.N. members, supplemented by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), to blame the failure of the first negotiating conference last July on the United States. This story demonstrates the widespread eagerness to blame the U.S. for anything, which in turn sheds light on how the ATT, once it comes into being, will be interpreted and implemented in practice."
