UNLIREC’s Firearms Destruction and Stockpile Management Caribbean Assistance Package helped Caribbean Member States implement key measures called for in the UN 2001 Programme of Action on SALW for combating illicit firearms trafficking, proliferation and preventing armed violence. The assistance package paid particular attention to the promotion of sound stockpile management practices and the regular destruction of surplus, obsolete, and confiscated weapons, ammunition and explosives. As part of this project, UNLIREC donated firearms and ammunition destruction equipment and stockpile management material and trained law enforcement officials in various weapons and ammunition destruction methods to ensure sustainability.
