Manifesto commitments mean nothing unless they are followed by action to deliver them. Despite progress at the EU and the Commonwealth last year, the UK is failing to use its influence at the UN to push for tighter controls on the international arms trade. The UK started out as one of the leaders behind the idea of the treaty but has since failed to show leadership at the UN to make it a reality.
