Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects (UN Document A/Conf.192/15)


Ambassador Pablo Macedo, Chairperson for the BMS4: "All over the world, small arms in the wrong hands destroy lives and livelihoods, impede peace efforts, hinder humanitarian aid, facilitate the illicit trade in narcotics and obstruct investment in people. The Programme of Action is a globally shared responsibility to increase security and foster development for all. I am committed to work with all States and regions to achieve a substantive outcome of its upcoming biennial meeting." (CV)		2010: BMS4 Outcome document 2008: BMS3 Outcome document
