Small Arms S.Asia

Welcome to Small Arms S.Asia.

This blog will be dedicated to gathering and sharing information on small arms trafficking in Pakistan, India, and related areas. My posts will range from discussing news and expert analysis to governmental and advocacy efforts to control the small arms problem in South Asia. A key aim here will be identifying the critical actors on this issue area – from local to regional to international. Blog posts will also comment on current events and call attention to important developments and progress as well as problems and challenges. Over time, I hope to piece together a useful resource covering both sides of the issue – the illicit small arms trade as well as the international movement against it. To this end, your comments and participation will be valued here.

For a more in-depth description of the problem, please also see the Background and Significance post.

Thank you.
