THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,

Noting with deep concern that the lack of transparency of weapons brought out horrendous outcomes worldwide such as the Somali Civil War, the Gulf War, and the Yugoslav Wars, and caused terrible influence on innumerable human beings lives,

Deeply conscious that such occasions as the 9/11 World Trade Center on 11th September 2001, the London bombings in 2005, the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008 were incurred due to the poor relay of information between governmental bodies, such as the intelligence or risk management departments and the state security department,
