From FOX News:
Kerry to sign UN arms treaty, despite senators' opposition
Secretary of State John Kerry plans to sign a controversial U.N. treaty on arms regulation on Wednesday, a senior State Department official told Fox News -- despite warnings from lawmakers that the Senate will not ratify the agreement.

A State official said the treaty would "reduce the risk that international transfers of conventional arms will be used to carry out the world's worst crimes," while protecting gun rights.
SecState has no authority to sign a treaty of any kind. That is the President's job. The Senate must vote to ratify with a 2/3rds majority. Is Kerry just clueless or is he doing this willfully. I say both.
