"Landslide UN vote in favor of Arms Trade Treaty."

"145 states supported for the Treaty and 2 others subsequently added their names, an increase on the 139 states who voted to start the UN process in October 2006, showing increasing global consensus in favor of the treaty. 116 of the yes voters also co-sponsored the resolution. The vote was particularly strong in Africa, South and Central America and Europe indicating strong demand for arms control both from countries severely affected by armed violence and from major exporters. Only the US and Zimbabwe voted against, ignoring increasing global consensus for an ATT."
