Capacity Development for Reporting to the
UN Programme of Action on Small Arms

In 2001, states participating at the UN Conference on the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its aspects adopted the UN Programme of Action (PoA) to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects. States also agreed to convene again for global and regional meetings to report on progress they have made in implementing the Programme of Action.

All States have been encouraged to submit a report every year on their implementation of the Programme of Action.

The national reports already submitted can be found at
