Views on the future operation of the Register

Address by President Clinton to the United Nations on the Occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Creation of the United Nations (October 22, 1995) Each year, the United States provides background information regarding relevant United States policies, legislation and administrative procedures. The 1996 United States submission includes updates to this material. It is possible that there will be discrepancies in the numbers of transferred arms as reported by exporting and importing states, due to differences in recorded dates of transfer and in what each country determines to constitute a reportable transfer. The United States considers that its transfers of military equipment occur at the time ownership title for the equipment is transferred between the United States and another country. The 1996 submission therefore includes equipment whose title was transferred during the 1995 calendar year.

Note: Information about small arms and light weapons was not requested before 2006
