The project studies the framework regulating arms transfers, in a view of enhancing the capacity of states, corporations and the society to detect and reduce threats to peace, human rights and the environment.
UniTrento will focus on three topics:

- the concept of neutrality with reference to the issue of arms supply to belligerents, in light of current practice; 
- the relationship between states and corporations and its impact on states' responsibility under the law of neutrality;
- the impact of international and domestic law norms on arms trade on international investment law and arbitration.

UniTrento will collect a number of relevant "case studies" to test the legal framework on arms transfer and neutrality against the background of actual practice and elaborate tailor-made proposals.
