This three-day meeting organized by the Royal Thai Police Foreign Affairs Division and Nonviolence International Southeast Asia – member of the Control Arms network – and focused on supporting multi-institutional and whole-of-government approaches to ATT implementation in South-East Asia. Representatives from government agencies explored a range of technical and substantive issues, such as national legislative and procedural frameworks, cross-institutional working procedures, transit and transhipment, and tackling transnational organized crime in the region. A visit to the Royal Thai Police Bomb Data Centre and the Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit, participants were given briefings on the impact of the unregulated trade of arms – particularly of parts and components of explosive weapons – on the greater public safety in communities and urban centres.
