Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the international community has initiated programmes and policies to redress the worldwide availability and circulation of small arms and light weapons. These efforts are principally aimed at curbing the illicit transfer and retransfer of small arms and light weapons. This study evaluates small arms control as it relates to non-state armed groups in Southeast Asia. It is guided by the research question, 'to what extent does the current small arms control architecture affect how armed groups in Southeast Asia obtain, retain and surrender their weapons?' The core findings of the study are that there are three defining features of the illicit small arms proliferation pattern in Southeast Asia, augmented by two enduring themes. Combined, these features and themes contribute to a more nuanced appreciation of the illicit small arms proliferation and control dynamic in the region. The first feature is that the current illicit diffusion dynamic in Southeast Asia is that of a 'mature' market, which has characteristics that the current control architecture does not address. This mature small arms market is distinguished by a tendency for armed groups to obtain weapons from sources that are mostly internal to the conflict zone. The second defining feature is that the disarmament of armed groups appears to have a number of intangible dimensions. Appreciating the importance of these intangible dimensions becomes particularly apparent when looking at the third feature of the small arms proliferation and control dynamic, which is the characteristics of demand for small arms by armed groups in Southeast Asia. Running parallel to these three features are two sub-themes. The first is termed 'sufficiency'. The numbers of groups, and more particularly of combatants and weapons in this region, do not appear to be particularly large. Given the duration of many conflicts in this region however, there is clearly a sufficiency of each. Sufficiency also underscores the credibility of a disarmament process. The second sub-theme is the creation and nurturing of paramilitaries and private armies, which may be growing. These findings are reflective of, but not necessarily restricted to, the examples studied in this region. The study suggests that the current control measures do not fully capture the proliferation dynamic as it appears in Southeast Asia at the present time. It argues that reconceptualising the current small arms proliferation and control paradigm may prove beneficial. In particular, an extended small arms control architecture may capture the spectrum of small arms proliferation that is particularly evident in Southeast Asia. This extended architecture involves a deeper and broader approach to the control of small arms and light weapons.

Download or read book The Sulu Arms Market written by Lino Miani and published by Institute of Southeast Asian. This book was released on 2011 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated in a remote area long a historical buffer zone between competing political entities, the Sulu Arms Market is an illicit market of a typical form in that it is both a source and a destination for less-than-legal guns. What makes the Sulu market unique is its longevity which is measured in centuries. In modern times, guns from the area supply conflicts and crime from Japan to Sri Lanka to Papua New Guinea and beyond; and in turn the world pours guns and ammunition into Mindanao, the Maluku (Molucca) Islands, and to a lesser extent, Malaysia and the rest of the Philippines. Like most black arms pipelines, the Sulu Arms Market is intertwined with piracy, terrorism, and the traffic of other illicit commodities. Criminal gangs, communists, Moro independence groups, and Islamic militants are all major players in the market, making it a security problem for at least five member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Download or read book Searching for Aid Effectiveness in Small Arms Assistance written by Kerry Maze and published by United Nations Publications UNIDIR. This book was released on 2010 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: States and organisations recognise the centrality of international assistance to help states prevent, combat, and eradicate the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons (SALW). However, addressing SALW remains a serious challenge for many states. States and organizations have yet to tackle important questions about the practices of delivering, evaluating, and measuring SALW assistance. This report explores these questions and highlights areas where further work remains to be done. Looking partly through an aid-effectiveness lens, this report aims to help the international community work toward ensuring that assistance is being used optimally and that states are measurably benefiting.

Download or read book Small Arms and Light Weapons written by Erwin Dahinden and published by United Nations Publications. This book was released on 2002 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are over 600 million small arms and light weapons (SALW) in circulation worldwide. Of 49 major conflicts in the 1990s, 47 were waged with small arms as the weapons of choice. Small arms are responsible for over half a million deaths per year, including 300,000 in armed conflict and 200,000 more from homicides and suicides. Multilateral cooperation in this area took a significant step forward when the United Nations Conference on the Illicit Traffic in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects was held from 9-20 July 2001 at UN Headquarters in New York. The General Assembly, in its Resolution 56/24V, welcomed the adoption of the PoA and reiterated Member States' support for action to curb the illicit flow of small arms and light weapons.This fourth volume in the Arms Control and Disarmament Law series addresses the issue of small arms and light weapons from the legal point of view, presented at the seminar on Small Arms and Light Weapons: Legal Aspects of National and International Regulations.

Download or read book Small Arms and Security written by Denise Garcia and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the emergence of new international norms to govern the spread of small arms, and the extent to which these norms have been established in the policies and practices of states, regions and international organizations. It also attempts to establish criteria for assessing norm emergence, and to assess the process of norm development by comparing what actually happens at the multilateral level. If norm-making on small arms and related multilateral negotiations have mostly dealt with ‘illicit arms’, and most of the norms examined here fall on the arms supplier side of the arms equation, the author argues that the creation of international norms and the setting of widely agreed standards amongst states on all aspects of the demand for, availability, and spread of both legal and illegal small arms and light weapons must become central to the multilateral coordination of policy responses in order to tackle the growing violence associated with small arms availability. Small Arms and Security will be of interest to researchers and professionals in the fields of peace and conflict studies, global governance, international security and disarmament.
