Summary
"This report analyses the national reports on implementation of the 2001 United Nations Programme of Action on Small Arms submitted by states from the date of its adoption to 31 December 2012. It provides an overview of reporting trends and in-depth review of states implementation of the national-level commitments contained in the Programme of Action and the International Tracing Instrument, adopted by Member States in 2005: National Coordination Agencies and National Points of Contact, manufacturing, marking, record-keeping, tracing, international transfers (including export, import, transit and other commitments), brokering, stockpile management, surplus, public awareness and confidence-building, and other themes addressed in the PoA. This analysis is part of a joint project of UNIDIR and the Small Arms Survey, established to assist states to better fulfil their commitments under the Programme of Action. It gives an overview of implementation efforts so far and highlights gaps in implementation. The report is designed to help states prepare for the Second Review Conference in August 2012, and identify priority areas for consideration and focused attention in the next review cycle."--Back cover.
