Executive Summary
There is an old adage that without ammunition, guns would be simply metal clubs. Most of the policy work to date has focused on guns rather than ammunition, and the killing has not abated. Limiting and regulating ammunition transfers is a viable approach that could control conflict and reduce killing. In this paper, ammunition is examined in order to complement recent discussions by government officials, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and the international community as a whole. This study suggests that ammunition control is a new way to fight an old problem.
-- and --
Although not often mentioned in traditional arms control debates, ammunition control is increasingly addressed as a viable part of disarmament, demobilization, and peace-building. Varying strategies that address the illicit flow of ammunition already exist. Some countries have targeted legislation against particular ethnic or national groups, others have looked at the black market, and still others have focused on legal transfers by proposing regulations based on regional or international codes of conduct.
