It seems like this applies more for nations that aren't even a member of the UN. If one is a member of the UN, would they even be allowed to do any of what they want to prevent?

Maybe this could really hurt US deals to other nations. Maybe no longer be able to sell arms to nations in the middle east. I remember seeing the Egyptian uprising and the military using M1 Abrams we sold them. Plus we give billions away to nations, they could just end up using that money to buy weapons from nations that ignore the UN treaty.
Shoot, all these weapons that are used in these bad countries use guns, tanks and vehicles that originated from Russia, China and former Eastern Bloc countries.

Seems more like a piece of mind to feel like they are doing something good. Make themselves feel better about themselves. If they wanted to really help, they would inject REAL help into some of these countries like Somalia and not let them be a lawless wasteland for decades.
