Dookeran signs Arms Trade Treaty

Jun 04, 2013

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - Foreign Minister Winston Dookeran yesterday signed the Arms Trade Treaty which establishes common international standards for the movement across borders of conventional arms and ammunition. When the Treaty comes into effect after 60 nations have signed and ratified it, illegal guns which end up in the hands of local criminals will be traced since records will be kept on the movement of guns from the manufacturer, across borders, to end users. Dookeran signed the treaty with over 60 other nations at a signing ceremony at the United Nation’s headquarters in New York.
