It establishes common international standards regulating the international trade in conventional arms, requiring each State Party to maintain a national control system, prohibit transfers that would violate UN arms embargoes or be used for genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes (Article 6), and conduct an export risk assessment before authorizing any export (Article 7).
