Arms Trade Treaty Exercise

The Arms Trade Treaty came into effect in 2013. The U.S. has signed, but not yet ratified the treaty (in part due to concerns of some that it might require policies that would conflict with the 2nd Amendment, though the U.S. government has argued that such concerns are groundless).

Assume that you have been asked to brief your local Senator on how the U.S. might be able to withdraw from the Treaty in the event that it ratifies but later decides it no longer wants to bound by the Treaty. Prepare speaking notes on how you would brief the Senator.
