Abstract

Argues that intrastate warfare can be ameliorated by controlling the global flow of illicit arms. Background to a 2001 UN conference on the illicit arms trade is briefly offered before distinguishing between the legal & black market arms trades. A comprehensive program of action should include (1) a full-range study of the illicit arms trade; (2) the establishment of a clearinghouse for information related to illicit arms dealers; (3) the establishment of uniform, easily authenticated arms transfer documentation; (4) enhancing the ability of developing countries to monitor the flow of weapons into, through, & from their territory; (5) globally declaring all known & suspected illegal arms traffickers persona non grata; & (6) establishing mechanisms for multilateral efforts to confront illicit trafficking networks.
