Promoting effective global action on small arms: Priorities for the 2006 UN Review Conference

This report in the Biting the Bullet series identifies and examines key priorities for the 2006 Review Conference for the UN Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All its Aspects. It particularly focuses on identifying realistic and potentially negotiable objectives for the conference.

Biting the Bullet is a joint project between Saferworld, International Alert and the University of Bradford. It helped facilitate a wide-ranging and well-informed debate between governments and civil society in the run-up to the UN Conference on the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects in July 2001.
