Import controls and an arms trade treaty / [electronic resource] Mark Bromley and Paul Holtom , Text - Solna : SIPRI, 2011 - 1 PDF-file (12 p.) , tables - SIPRI background paper .
"July 2011" This paper provides an overview of existing international and regional agreements and best practices for controls on arms imports. It discusses national implementation and enforcement of import controls, paying particular attention to licensing procedures, customs controls and the production and issuing of end-user certificates and other similar documentation. Improved standards in all of these areas could play an important role in reducing illicit and destabilizing arms transfers. A case study of transfers of AK-47 rifles from Bosnia to the United Kingdom demonstrates how poor enforcement of import controls can facilitate the diversion of small arms and light weapons (SALW).
