Stimson Center | Virtual Event

Description: The massive influx of arms transfers to Ukraine has brought renewed attention to the global arms trade and reinvigorated discussions around the importance of—and challenges to—arms trade transparency. Join the Stimson Center for an expert discussion of the status of arms trade transparency in the context of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). Panelists will take stock of recent efforts to advance transparency, including through the submission of ATT annual reports on arms exports and imports, and discuss how governments, civil society, and other actors can further enhance public understanding of the international arms trade in the years to come. The event will also feature insights from the 2023 ATT Monitor Report and will launch a new Stimson analysis reflecting on the past year of ATT annual reporting.

Rachel Stohl, Vice President, Stimson Center and Director of the Conventional Defense Program

Carina Solmirano, Project Lead, ATT Monitor

Robert in den Bosch, Disarmament Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the Conference on Disarmament of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Geneva
