It's not only about enforcing the treaty; it's also about ratification and fulfillment. The U.S. is notorious for following treaties only as far as it's convenient to them.
As for the Libyan thing, the treaty is about the wider arms trade, regarding corruption and legal channels, etc. I don't think that governments who actively and publicly distribute arms are the target. I think the targets are illegitimate groups.
