1. “It is up to Member States whether, for instance, they want to establish an ad hoc working group to examine those recommendations, as was suggested this morning, or to agree on a presidential statement, or to take other action. The debate shows clearly the importance of consistently including the small arms situation in almost any other debate the Council holds. For its part, the Secretariat will work actively on integrated and coordinated measures stemming the excessive accumulation and universal availability of small arms.”

2. “Mr. Prins: The Secretariat is encouraged by today's rich and constructive debate and by the Council's commitment to take further action in the field of small arms. The urgency of the issue was highlighted once again with the just-released news message from the World Food Programme (WFP) stating that in Darfur, in 2008 alone, 60 WFP trucks have been hijacked, with 39 trucks still missing - and, most horrifyingly, with 26 drivers unaccounted for. Small arms always play a central role as enablers of such violence. 26 For the Secretary-General's recommendations to be followed up, it will be important that all continue to pay close attention to the issue.”
