Interagency cooperation is critical in fulfilling the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) provisions. It enables the effective domestication and implementation of the Treaty provisions and is vital in order for States Parties to ensure responsible and transparent international transfers of conventional arms. In January 2024, UNIDIR, Stimson Center and Conflict Armament Research organized a brainstorming workshop on the topic in support of Romania’s presidency of the Tenth Conference of States Parties to the ATT (ATT CSP10). This side event will provide a platform to share some of the key discussion points and findings from the workshop on the challenges and opportunities of interagency cooperation for ATT implementation. It will also provide an opportunity for the ATT CSP10 President to present his draft working paper and solicit reflections and comments from all ATT stakeholders to support the elaboration of a constructive and impactful presidency thematic paper.
