The International Arms Trade Commission (Rodshyan:: Комиссия по международной торговле оружием tr. Komissiya po mezhdunarodnoy torgovle oruzhiyem; Dundorfian: Internationale Waffenhandel Kommission) was created to help manage international arms deals. The IATC, as it is commonly called, was developed over the period of a decade and traditionally has been involved in all arms trades from small arms to major deals for aircraft carriers. The purpose of the IATC is to ensure that all arms deals are done properly and legally, the IATC works to ensure that all arms can be tracked and traced for whatever reason.
