  2. “The final recommendation that directly addresses the Security Council is for the Council to encourage States to enhance their efforts to certify and standardize end-user certificates. 08-32354 The Secretary-General is encouraged by the continued efforts of the Security Council to address the challenges posed by illicit small arms and light weapons in the context of matters under the Council's consideration. For his part, the Secretary-General is committed to further improving coordination within the United Nations system with a view to strengthening its actions on issues related to small arms. In this regard, he has identified reviving the United Nations Coordinating Action on Small Arms (CASA) mechanism as one of his priorities in the field of disarmament this year.”

  3. “Finally, the report presents a total of 13 recommendations with respect to the negative effects of illicit small arms. Six of the recommendations directly address the Security Council, and it may wish to consider them, where it deems relevant to do so. The first of these is to encourage a strengthened cooperation between the Council's sanctions monitoring groups, peacekeeping missions, States and regional and international organizations. The second is to strengthen the synergies between the Council's arms embargoes and disarmament, demobilization and reintegration efforts. The third is to encourage States and peacekeeping missions to use the new International Tracing Instrument and INTERPOL's global police communication system. The fourth is to increasingly apply its practice of linking arms embargo exceptions with security sector reform.”

  4. “The report underscores the importance of developing practical exchanges between the Security Council and the General Assembly on stemming the illicit flows of arms and ammunition to areas of crisis and conflict. In this regard, the Secretary-General considers it promising that the Council has requested a report on the issue on a biennial basis following the same two-year cycle as that of the meetings held pursuant to the Programme of Action. Furthermore, the report draws attention to the fact that the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms could be instrumental for the Security Council and for efforts undertaken in the framework of the Programme of Action, since it has opened the possibility for States to report on man-portable air defence systems and on small arms.”

  5. “In addressing the issue of small arms, the report places particular emphasis on fostering enhanced cooperation and assistance among national authorities; enhancing synergies between various bodies within the 08-32354 United Nations involved in the issue, including the Security Council, the General Assembly and the Peacebuilding Commission; exploring possibilities for further improving the monitoring of Security Council arms embargoes; developing forms of standardization of end-user certificates; drawing urgent attention to the destruction of surplus ammunition stockpiles and to stockpile management; encouraging the development of measurable goals for reducing armed violence; and building capacity for States that need it.”

  6. “We have all witnessed how those weapons have been used to maim and kill, plunder and rape, instil fear and insecurity, block humanitarian aid, hold communities at ransom and destroy the social fabric of entire countries, and how their excessive accumulation and misuse have hindered stability and development in every way imaginable. The report discusses various aspects of the issue of small arms, with an emphasis on the negative impact that illicit small arms have on security, human rights and social and economic development, in particular in areas of crisis and post-conflict situations. It also analyses global instruments of relevance in stemming the uncontrolled proliferation of small arms, including the United Nations Programme of Action.”

  7. “The Security Council's open debate today once again underscores the importance that the Council attaches to this issue, which cuts across most of the issues that are on its agenda, be they the ongoing armed conflicts in various parts of the world, children in armed conflict, terrorism, drug trafficking, cross- border issues, the illegal exploitation of natural resources, or others. The threat to international peace and security posed by the uncontrolled trade in small arms and their excessive accumulation and proliferation cannot be overemphasized.”

  8. “Ms. Hoppe: It gives me great pleasure to introduce to the Security Council the report of the Secretary-General on small arms, contained in document S/2008/258, which is being submitted pursuant to the Security Council's request to the Secretary-General in document S/PRST/2007/24 to submit on a biennial basis, beginning in 2008, a report containing his analysis, observations and recommendations, as well as his observations on the implementation of the United Nations Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects.”

  9. “I would also like to underscore that the steps being taken to enhance international cooperation to prevent, combat and eradicate illicit brokering in small arms and light weapons should be complemented by measures to control brokering at the national level, including by adopting adequate national legislation on brokering.

  10. “In that connection, the Secretariat is encouraged by the Council's commitment to strengthen interaction between the Council and the General Assembly in order to contribute to developing a coherent and comprehensive United Nations policy on small arms and light weapons. The Secretariat also welcomes the Council's recognition of the importance of addressing the issues of ammunition and end-user certificates, as well as the link between illicit weapons and the illegal exploitation of natural resources. I would like to note the Council's resolve to strengthen the monitoring mechanism for arms embargoes as a means of contributing to curbing the proliferation of small arms and light weapons. I have taken note of the various specific proposals made in that regard.”

  11. “Mrs. Hoppe: Today's Security Council debate demonstrates the Council's continued determination, and that of those who took the floor during the open debate, to address the problem of illicit small arms and light weapons, as those weapons play a central role in fuelling conflict and spreading instability. I would like to thank everyone who welcomed the report of the Secretary-General on initiatives taken to implement the 12 recommendations contained in his earlier report (S/2002/1053). With the review conference on the Programme of Action on Small Arms and Light Weapons taking place in a few months, this debate was very timely. All the statements delivered underlined the support of Member States for, and the importance of, full implementation of the Programme of Action on the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons.”

  12. “3 The Secretary-General is encouraged by the continued efforts of the Security Council to address the challenges posed by illicit small arms and light weapons in the context of matters under the Council's consideration. I am confident that today's meeting will enhance the determination of Member States in their efforts to seek concrete measures to strengthen the implementation of the Programme of Action on small arms and light weapons, as well as to identify the best approaches to addressing the areas of continued concern.”

  13. “The intensity of the debates during the session of the Preparatory Committee for the conference, which was held in January of this year, confirmed, on the one hand, that States remain as committed as they were in 2001 to tackling the challenges posed by the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons. On the other hand, the wide diversity of views expressed regarding a number of issues and possible approaches to furthering the question of small arms and light weapons on the international agenda is symptomatic of the complexity of the challenges posed by the problem of illicit small arms and light weapons and its multifaceted nature.”

  14. “I also wish to emphasize the recent achievements of the Coordinating Action on Small Arms mechanism, particularly the development of a strategic framework and an internet database, and the initiatives undertaken to raise awareness of the mechanism among United Nations offices in the field. Those initiatives are intended to strengthen the mechanism's coordinating role within the United Nations system, as well as its capacity to better respond to requests for assistance from Member States. The sustainability of those efforts can be secured only with the support of Member States. In June, the United Nations conference to review progress made in the implementation of the Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small arms and Light Weapons will be convened.”

  15. “In that regard, I would like to point out the need to support States in their efforts to build the necessary capacity to adopt measures aimed at further improving the effectiveness of arms embargoes imposed by the Council. Such support could include technical assistance for improved monitoring of national air spaces and land and maritime borders, as well as the development of means to identify and prosecute those that violate arms embargoes. I would also like to highlight the need to intensify efforts to systematically integrate longer-term small arms and light weapons control measures in the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process in post-conflict situations.”

  16. “In terms of actions to prevent the diversion of small arms and light weapons to the illicit market, the decision of the General Assembly, at its sixtieth session, to establish a group of governmental experts to consider further steps to enhance international cooperation to prevent, combat and eradicate illicit brokering in small arms and light weapons is an important step in the right direction. The Group will commence its work in November of this year, with two 06-27602 more sessions to be held in the course of the first half of 2007. The report also underscores the fact that, despite the progress made so far, more needs to be done in order to fully implement some of the recommendations being considered by the Council today.”

  17. “The realization of that instrument's potential as an effective tool in the efforts to prevent and combat transnational organized crime depends on its wide acceptance by States. The Council may thus wish to encourage States that have not yet done so to ratify or accede to the Protocol. An encouraging sign of progress is the increased focus on understanding the link between the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons and the illicit exploitation of natural resources and on measures to help sever such links.”

  18. “That instrument contains key provisions aimed at facilitating the work of law enforcement officials as they attempt to trace illicit weapons. The challenge now is to take the necessary steps to ensure the full implementation of that instrument. In that context, serious consideration should be given to international cooperation and assistance to States that so request in developing the appropriate tools, technical expertise and infrastructure necessary for the implementation of the provisions of the instrument. The report highlights, as an important development, the entry into force of the Protocol against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Their Parts and Components and Ammunition, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime.”

  19. “We have all witnessed the concrete manifestations of that threat in most of the recent conflicts where small arms and light weapons have been used to cause widespread human suffering, along with social, political and economic instability in the regions directly involved in those 06-27602 conflicts, as well as the countries neighbouring such areas. The present report underscores continuing progress made in important areas addressed in the recommendations of the report of 2002. An important step forward in the global struggle against the proliferation of illicit small arms and light weapons is the recent adoption by the General Assembly of a politically binding international instrument to enable States to identify and trace, in a timely and reliable manner, illicit small arms and light weapons.”

The Security Council's annual open debate on small arms is an important forum within the United Nations for the consideration of the issue of small arms and light weapons. It underscores the recognition by the Council of the threat posed by the illicit trade in and the proliferation of small arms and light weapons to international peace and security.”
