This paper provides recent examples of diversion of small arms and ammunition through theft or loss. Severe problems exist in states involved in warfare or its aftermath. In addition, this paper identifies cases of significant losses which have occurred from armed forces not involved in war, and from law enforcement and private citizens and firms. Stockpile management should be a priority for all governments. The paper concludes with a recommendation for governments to start an informal, flexible and long term process to promote better stockpile management.
