yes / It is now widely recognised that, to be successful, efforts towards preventing and combating
the illicit trade in SALW will require a multifaceted approach which simultaneously tackles the
demand for and the supply of these weapons. In this regard, developing and promoting
international norms, standards and mechanisms for the effective removal of illicit weapons
from circulation is a major challenge for the UN Conference on the Illicit Trade in Small Arms
and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects.
There are two distinct scenarios within which weapons collection initiatives operate: the
peace-time scenario, where efforts are focused on reducing criminal violence; and the postconflict
scenario, where efforts are focused on the objective of conflict prevention through
peace-building.
