Descripción de la actividad

In 2014, the procurement of eight marking machines by United Nations Office in Drugs and Crime (UNODC) for Burkina Faso (2), Mali (1), Niger (2) and Senegal (3) was completed. Also software for record keeping of seized firearms has been made available and is currently adapted for use in the aforementioned countries. The machines will be used to mark weapons, as they are imported, with a code that can identify the country and year of import, as well as the end-user. The training on firearms marking machines was delivered to counterparts in Burkina Faso and Niger in cooperation with the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA).
