Today, 7 June 2019, Botswana deposited its instrument of accession to the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) at the UN Office of Legal Affairs in New York, becoming the 103rd State Party and 26th African country to join the Treaty.
The White House announced that it will withdraw the US’ signature from the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). Following the US’s withdrawal from two other key instruments, the Paris Agreement and the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, this is another step back by the US from rules-based international cooperation which aims to reduce human suffering.
