✦ Synopsis

The illicit trade, accumulation and use of small arms and light weapons, and the presence of explosive remnants of war, exacerbate conflict, threaten human life, undermine development and hamper the recovery of war-torn societies. The spread of small arms and their misuse are often related to the vicious circle of poverty, insecurity and underdevelopment. This report aims to provide the European Union with an overview of small arms and explosive remnants of war problems and current responses, as well as an analysis of selected European actions in these areas and an assessment of their effectiveness.
