Updated Briefing Paper for Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) Delegations Regarding Arms Transfers to Israel

This briefing paper provides Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) delegations with information about their legal obligations under the ATT in relation to arms transfers to Israel.

Ahead of the ATT Working Group meetings in February 2025, Reaching Critical Will has published an updated briefing paper providing delegations with information about their legal obligations under the ATT in relation to arms transfers to Israel. The briefing paper analyses the application of Articles 6, 7, and 9 of the ATT considering recent developments, including the 2024 rulings by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC). This paper is based on an earlier version written in February 2024 written by Ray Acheson and Laura Varella.
