In Focus - Armed Violence Monitors provide information on the specific types of firearm incidents and the related topics to illustrate the magnitude of firearms' adverse impact on civilians. This issue focuses on weapons seizures in South East Europe (SEE) from 1 January to 31 December 2022, including a comparative overview of 2021. Over the years, weapon seizures have been the most commonly reported type of incident, and they have proven to be an important tool for law enforcement agencies in their efforts to reduce illegal possession, proliferation and trafficking of firearms, ammunition and explosives (FAE). In this report, weapon seizures encompass all cases where law enforcement agencies took hold of FAE due to various reasons such as illegal possession, lack of proof of ownership, voluntary surrender, or as evidence from a crime scene. In some cases, weapon seizures may be conducted as part of a larger operation to reduce crime or to disrupt illegal activity.
