ISS Seminar, Pretoria
The End of the United Nations Small Arms Process?

 

In July 2006, the United Nations conference to review progress made in the implementation of the 2001 Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects failed to provide the General Assembly with either a mandate to conduct a further review in five years, or guidance on the UNPoA’s future implementation. This seminar, which will be held under Chatham House rules, will explore possible scenarios on the way forward.
