Modified version of a background paper prepared for a conference in Ottawa in May 2001. The UN Conference on the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects, held in July 2001, called attention to the need to prevent the proliferation and misuse of small arms and light weapons. Its failure to agree on adequate steps at the international level made it necessary for regional initiatives to address the problem. The OAS and its member states need to adopt measures to combat the illicit arms trade.
