This two-day workshop offered the opportunity to enhance national capacity on legal and particularly technical aspects of SALW-control, including on marking, tracing and recordkeeping, and physical security and stockpile management, through discussions and expert presentations. The discussions emphasized the importance of implementing the United Nations Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in SALW. A focus of the Workshop was to advance national interagency coordination and to develop a national action plan on SALW. The content and relevance of the Arms Trade Treaty were also presented and discussed.
