The global arms trade, involving the transfer of weapons and military technology between nations, has significant implications for international security and human rights. A key point of contention in this trade is the influence of the US Second Amendment, which guarantees the right to bear arms. As the US is one of the largest producers and exporters of firearms, its domestic policies on gun ownership impact global stability, as American-made weapons often end up fuelling violence and conflicts abroad. Under UNGA-DISEC, the international community debates how to regulate arms trade while balancing national sovereignty, security concerns, and human rights, with the US defending its constitutional right to bear arms. This ongoing discussion highlights the challenge of reconciling individual freedoms with global security objectives.
