Conference on The Illicit Trade in Small Arms And Light Weapons in All Its Aspects — The Conference was held in New York from 9 to 20 July 2001. This Conference focused on the “Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects” as its title indicates. The Report of the UN Group of Governmental Experts on Small Arms [A/54/258], issued in September 1999, provides further clarification of what may be discussed by the Conference. The Group of Experts recommended that “The primary focus of attention should be on small arms and light weapons that are manufactured to military specifications. Other types of firearms used in conflicts may, however, also have to be considered in dealing with the problems in the most affected regions of the world. In this overall context, ammunition should also be considered”.
