Activity description

CARICOM IMPACS and UNIDIR held a two-day assistance activity with the purpose of strengthening Caribbean States national end-use/r control systems with the aim to mitigate the risk of diversion of unauthorized end users and/or end uses.

Project description

UNIDIR's project, Tackling Diversion (Phase II): Promoting Regional Dialogue to Enhance Common Understanding and Cooperation to Strengthen End Use/r Control Systems, aims to provide a platform to identify potential areas for cooperation, shared understanding and possible alignment of measures to strengthen end use/r control systems at the regional/sub-regional levels. The project recognizes that greater cooperation and alignment between states with regards to common practices and procedures in end use/r control systems will enhance the ability of relevant national stakeholders to more effectively identify and mitigate the risk of arms diversion.
