Small Arms Survey/Core Contribution 2011 - 2012

• Research unit: PHRD
• Project number: 534147

Short description (English)

The Geneva-based Small Arms Survey project has made, since 1999, a significant contribution to ongoing international efforts to stem the proliferation and misuse of small arms and light weapons and to curb armed violence. It is internationally recognized as the primary source of independent information on small arms and light weapons issues, and a monitor of international and national, governmental and non-governmental policy initiatives to tackle small arms and armed violence. Switzerland has strongly supported the work of the Small Arms Survey since its inception in 1999, and has received wide international recognition for its role in promoting this initiative. This project document thus requests continued support to the Small Arms Survey and a new credit line for the years 2011 and 2012.
