UNO Arms Trade Treaty – 2013
"Virtually all areas of world trade, from banana to petroleum, timber to minerals, are covered by regulations that bind countries into agreed conduct. Before the adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) in April 2013 by the General Assembly of the United Nations, there was no global set of rules governing the trade in conventional weapons. The ATT sets robust international standards to help guide governments in deciding whether or not to authorize arms transfers. It provides for cooperation and assistance to help countries develop adequate regulatory systems and safe weapons stockpiles.

The Rule Of Law At The National And International Levels – Archbishop Bernardito Auza – 16/10/2015
The principle of pacta sunt servanda (agreements must be kept) is one of the bedrock principles of natural justice, which protects against the temptation to appeal to the law of force rather than to the force of law.
