This chapter analyses the preamble of the ATT. The preamble of an international treaty typically sets out its purpose and the context of its adoption. The ATT is unusual in that in addition to eighteen preambular paragraphs it contains a set of eight principles in accordance with which the states parties are ‘determined to act’. This right, however, does not create any obligation for states to do so and such rights must be exercised in accordance with international law.
