Developing a Mechanism to Prevent Illicit Brokering in Small Arms and Light Weapons: Scope and Implications

By United Nations

During the past decade, the problems posed by unregulated arms brokering activities have become an issue of growing concern for governments and international organizations trying to control the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons. Despite their central role in the arms business, the activities of arms brokers are often unregulated. This study, conducted under the auspices of the United Nations Coordinating Action on Small Arms (CASA), examines existing instruments at national and international levels. It aims to identify common elements and options for regulation.
