  • Beyond Viktor Bout: Why the United States Needs an Arms Trade Treaty
    156 Oxfam Briefing Paper 6 October 2011 Beyond Viktor Bout: Why the United States needs an Arms Trade Treaty www.oxfam.org A discarded military tank in Sierra Leone being used to dry washing. During the civil war of 1991–2002, the country was under a UN arms embargo, which arms brokers routinely broke. ©Jane Gibbs/Oxfam While the high profile trial of Viktor Bout in New York will show some of the threats the world continues to face from unscrupulous private arms brokers, it only provides a glimpse into a much larger problem. Skilled at operating in the shadows and exploiting weak national arms transfer controls, arms brokers have funneled arms to almost every country under a UN arms embargoes in the last 15 years, often fueling armed conflict and serious human rights violations. The US has worked on at least 70 US prosecutions in the last five years that have charged defendants with crimes related to illegal arms brokering. Yet, it continues to face difficulties in bringing arms brokers to justice and shutting down criminal networks. The lack of effective legal systems addressing the arms trade in many countries enables illicit arms dealers to exploit regulatory gaps and carry out their activities with impunity. The US and the world need an effective global Arms Trade Treaty to help close these gaps and stop the irresponsible trade in deadly weapons. Summary With the trial of Viktor Bout nearly underway and the UN negotiations on an Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) starting in the summer of 2012, this briefing paper seeks to provide the reader with a deeper understanding of the challenges the US government faces in tackling unscrupulous arms brokers abroad, and to show how the adoption of a strong and comprehensive ATT could help the United States and other governments in such efforts.
