Motions — Arms Trade, Regulation—United Nations Arms Trade Treaty

I move, That this House note that the global illicit trade in arms contributes to unlawful armed violence, violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law and hampers socio-economic development; recognise the need for those consequences to be addressed by a legally binding United Nations Arms Trade Treaty with robust and comprehensive scope, criteria and implementation provisions; and reaffirm the commitment of New Zealand to the negotiation of such a treaty in July this year.

Motion agreed to.
