<p>Yes. The UK was a prime-mover for the creation of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) and
continues to be an active advocate of a robust Treaty. The UK was amongst the first
to sign the ATT in 2013 and ratified on 2 April 2014. We believe that the ATT will
be stronger for every State which accedes to or ratifies it.</p><p>Universalisation
will remain a key priority. The UK played an important role in the preparatory discussions
leading to the First Conference of States Parties, and was a Vice-President of that
Conference, brokering agreement on key decisions to establish sustainable mechanisms
for the future viability of the ATT.</p>
