Definición

  • The proliferation of illegal weapons has been likened to a cancer spreading across the developed and developing world. Development economist Paul Collier has referred to armed conflict as “social and economic development in reverse,” and chronic patterns of armed conflict are fundamentally sustained, more than anything else, by (typically illicit) supplies of small arms and light weapons (SALW).
