The assistance initiative to advance stockpile management in Argentina, organized by UNLIREC and the Ministry of Security, was divided into three activities. The purpose of the first activity was twofold: (i) to sign an agreement with the Ministry of Security of the Republic of Argentina to provide technical assistance in the area of small arms, light weapons and ammunition stockpile management and (ii) to carry out an introductory workshop for national authorities in Buenos Aires. The purpose of the second activity was to train 30 officials on firearms and ammunition stockpile management risk assessment and security planning. The officials trained came from the key federal law enforcement agencies including the Federal Police, Airport Security Police, National Gendarmerie and the Coast Guard. The purpose of third activity was to conduct an assessment of the four federal security forces on firearms and ammunition management. The assessment and all training activities were conducted using UNLIREC´s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), which are in accordance with the International Small Arms Control Standards (ISACS) and the International Ammunition Technical Guidelines (IATG). In addition, different weapons and ammunition marking proposals and techniques were discussed and analysed. UNLIREC's continued assistance to the Argentinian authorities was designed to supplement the 'National Programme for the Voluntary Surrender of Firearms' implemented by the Ministry of Security in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
