“The Arms Trade Treaty is the only global instrument aimed at improving transparency and control over international arms trafficking,” the Secretary General said in a statement.
Guterres noted that this treaty is "particularly important at the present time when we see an increase in international tensions."
Earlier, Trump announced the withdrawal of the United States from the International Arms Trade Treaty.
According to him, he will ask the Senate to stop the process of ratifying the document, which was signed during the presidency of Barack Obama.
