The 2025 Arms Trade Treaty Conference will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, from August 25-29.
Israel, a signatory to the ATT, has been committing a genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza for over 22 months, using military supplies purchased from and transferred by/through State Parties of the Treaty.
By providing Israel with military materiel, including dual-use items, State Parties are blatantly violating the rules of the ATT which they have agreed to uphold.
As a legally-binding UN document, the ATT must be respected beyond mere rhetoric, and the behaviour of its State Parties must not be taken lightly. State Parties have not only failed to take measures to deter, end and punish Israel’s crimes, but have also been complicit in arming, funding, and otherwise enabling them.

We are calling on supporters to endorse the statement from the global BDS movement calling on State Representatives to fulfil their legal and moral obligations as explicitly detailed in the Treaty, which member states have consistently violated.
We call on for pressure on states to end their complicity in Israel’s genocide by at the very least:
- Enforcing the ATT mechanism by effectively banning all transfer, including export, import, transit, trans-shipment and brokering, to and from Israel of arms, ammunition/munition, or their parts and components, and dual-use items.
- Guaranteeing that national control systems are effective and that violations of the ATT by Member States face proper sanctions and accountability measures;
- Withdrawing any diplomatic privileges Israel is granted as a signatory of the ATT.
