Description
Los parlamentarios tienen un papel imprescindible y fundamental que desempeñar en la promoción de la firma, ratificación e implementación del Tratado sobre el Comercio de Armas. Como rama legislativa del Gobierno, el Parlamento y los parlamentarios han realizado, y continuarán realizando, contribuciones sustantivas a la creación de un tratado sólido ampliamente ratificado e implementado. Como parlamentarios, y dada su proximidad con los principales encargados de adoptar decisiones en el Poder Ejecutivo del Gobierno, los parlamentarios pueden ejercer considerable influencia constructiva a fin de obtener las firmas, ratificaciones y finalmente la implementación del Tratado sobre el Comercio de Armas (TCA) en sus respectivos países.
El propósito de este manual parlamentario es resaltar, de manera clara y sencilla, las distintas e igualmente importantes maneras en que los parlamentarios pueden proceder y hacer avanzar al TCA de forma duradera y decisivamente positiva. Por consiguiente, se espera que los parlamentarios de todo el mundo encuentren en este manual una fuente de referencia útil en las múltiples y distintas iniciativas de promoción y de formulación de leyes en que participen para lograr la universalidad del TCA.

I am confident that this PGA Parliamentary Handbook on the ATT will become an indispensable reference source for Members of Parliament worldwide who are serious about seeking early ratification and robust implementation of the ATT in their respective countries. PGA is the only Parliamentary Organization Member of the Steering Board of Control Arms, and for the past 4 years we have worked tirelessly to promote the establishment of the ATT. Our Peace & Democracy Program remains committed to securing the entry into force of the ATT as soon as possible. PGA President Ross Robertson MP (Assistant Speaker of Parliament/New Zealand)
Both the Executive and Legislative Branches of Government in my country have been strong supporters of the ATT and I was very pleased that Suriname was one of the 65 countries that signed the ATT on the first day it was opened for signature on June 3, 2013. Parliamentarians worldwide have played a pivotal role in making the ATT a robust reality. We must now keep up the momentum and ensure that it is signed and ratified in all of our respective countries without delay. In this regard, the PGA Parliamentary Handbook on the ATT will be an invaluable reference source for legislators all over the world as we strive to ensure the ATT's entry into force as soon as is possible. PGA Executive Committee Member Ruth Wijdenbosch MP (Deputy Speaker of Parliament/Suriname)
Members of Parliament in all UN Member States must do all what they can to promote early ratification and implementation of the ATT. We must endeavor to ensure that it enters into force within the shortest time frame possible. In publishing this Parliamentary Handbook on the ATT, PGA has done an enormous service in providing to MPs worldwide with vital guidance on how to achieve this goal. PGA Executive Committee Member Thilanga Sumatipala MP (Sri Lanka)
I wholeheartedly welcome the publication of the PGA Parliamentary Handbook on the Arms Trade Treaty. With agreement on the ATT earlier this year, and in our efforts to secure the entry into force of the ATT as soon as possible, I am sure that this Handbook will become essential reading for Members of Parliament around the world. PGA Executive Committee Member and Treasurer Margareta Cederfelt MP (Sweden)
I am very pleased that my country, Turkey, recently signed the Arms Trade Treaty. Now is the time to build capacity of Members of Parliament around the world to promote early signature, ratification and entry into force of the ATT. In this respect, I believe this PGA Parliamentary Handbook is an idea whose time has certainly come and will make an important contribution to achieving – in time – universality of application of the ATT. PGA Executive Committee Member Yusuf Ziya Irbec MP (Turkey)
In advancing the cause of the ATT, in advocating for the ATT as well as in promoting its ratification and implementation, MPs have a multi-layered set of prerogatives at their disposal to make meaningful progress on all these fronts. It is for this reason that I highly commend the publication of this PGA Parliamentary Handbook on the ATT. PGA Member Senator David Musila MP (Kenya) (former Assistant Minister of Defence)
