Reporting to the Programme of Action on small arms and light weapons 2024
National reports are the primary tool to assess the implementation of the Programme of Action.
This reporting template was welcomed by all States in 2010. It closely follows the Programme of Action and its International Tracing Instrument. Not all areas may be applicable or a priority to every state. Therefore, please note that there are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers. After having provided a full report, an update on relevant sections every two years suffices.
Only formally identified National Points of Contact or the Permanent Missions of Member States can submit a national report.
The reporting template can be downloaded. Draft versions can be saved and printed, in order to obtain internal approval where necessary, before submission.
