Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been growing awareness in the world of the problems created by the global surplus of small arms and light weapons. One of the approaches suggested to enhance transparency about the legal manufacture and trade of such weapons is the creation of an arms register for these types of weapons. The aim of this paper is to discuss relevant practical considerations for a potential small arms and light weapons register to help ensure that it is a worthwhile and viable measure, and to propose a model which may be followed in establishing such a register. The first part highlights some of the general points to be considered when designing a light weapons register, including its scope or content, organization, and operation. Part two outlines a model for such a register, with a possible format and explanatory notes for a register based on the points noted in the first part of the paper. Sample data forms are included.

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.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: States have been invited to report on international transfers of small arms and light weapons (SALW) to the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms (UNROCA) since 2003. After a slow start, the rate of reporting increased significantly in 2006 and 2007. However, several of the most significant SALW exporters have never reported on international transfers of SALW to UNROCA. "The level of reporting on international transfers of SALW is now high enough that the 2009 UNROCA Group of Governmental Experts (GGE) should reconsider the establishment of a new, eighth UNROCA category on SALW. The creation of a category for SALW could simply involve the formal transformation of the current "virtual" eighth category into a full category. For submissions to be of use for monitoring international transfers of SALW, they must include information on units transferred, the importing and exporting states, and the type (subcategory) of SALW. States should also be encouraged to use the "Comments" column of the standardized reporting form to give information on a specific end-user or -use, and to state if transfers to civilians are included. The German practice of using export licences in lieu of delivery information merits further discussion within the GGE for those states that are currently unable to provide information on actual deliveries. This paper updates SIPRI Policy Paper no. 22, which covered the years 2003-2006."

Download or read book The International Arms Trade written by Rachel Stohl and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-29 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The multi-billion dollar business of the international conventional arms trade involves virtually every country in the world. Around the globe, people's lives are being irrevocably changed by the effects of guns, tanks, and missiles. These weapons have the potential to cause a deadly and current threat - one responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths a year. This succinct and accessible new book explores the complexities and realities of the global conventional weapons trade. The first book on the subject in nearly a decade, The International Arms Trade provides an engaging introduction to the trade, the effects, and the consequences of these weapons. The authors trace the history of the arms trade and examine how it has evolved since the end of the Cold War. In particular, they assess the role of the largest arms exporters and importers, the business of selling conventional arms around the world, and shed new light on the illicit arms trade and the shadowy dealers who profit from their deadly commerce. The book also looks closely at the devastating effect the business can have on countries, societies, and individuals and concludes with an evaluation of the various existing control strategies and the potential for future control opportunities. The International Arms Trade will be invaluable for students and scholars of international relations and security studies, and for policymakers and anyone interested in understanding more about the conventional arms trade.
